Not exacly so. Motor racing teaches that raising the pressure within reason, reduces the sidewall flexing and keeps more effectivec tread on the road. What is more, a car with under inflated tyres (tires) is a very nasty beast liable to kill. One can always do something via the steering wheel in a case of over inflation. A car rolling on the rims, via the tyres is very bad news.
