Over inflating tires can slightly increase gas mileage by creating less roll resistence (less tire touching the road). However, there are several downsides. Decreased traction means worse braking and handling, especially on wet pavement. Also, increased air pressure will cause premature and uneven tire wear in the middle of the tire.

∙ 13y agoNo , a properly inflated tire will provide better fuel economy and will be safer .
Under inflation of tires is one of the leading causes of excessive fuel use. With lower air pressure there's a larger (and unnecessary) tire footprint on the road creating more rolling resistance. Under inflation also increases wear and tire heat which can be damaging.
Inflating tires to the pressure recommended by the manufacturer (check owner's manual and/or sticker in the driver doorsill) will give a combination of best ride, best handling and best fuel mileage.

Why it important that tyres are maintained correctly as part of regular routine maintenance?
Multiple reasons. 1) If your tires are not balanced, the tires can shake your car and cause damage to the vehicle. 2) If you don't rotate your tires, UN-even wear on the treads can "pull" your vehicle to one side. Which can also cause damage to the vehicle and tires. 3) Under inflated tires can also put drag on a vehicle, causing damage to the vehicle and tires. All these reason can also affect your fuel economy as well.

Maintaining Tires on Travel Campers?
Travel campers are an excellent and affordable way to explore the hidden campgrounds of the United States and other parts of the world. While travel campers are lots of fun, it's important to maintain them in proper condition. Tires should always be maintained at the proper pressure. Over-inflating a tire may cause it to burst and will reduce the amount of traction that a vehicle has. Under-inflating a tire can also cause significant damage to the tire. It's also important to make sure that there is adequate tread on a tire for safe operation. If there isn't enough tread on a tire, a vehicle won't be able to maintain a solid grip on the road.
