On a heavily loaded vehicle SURE maybe. but on a lightly loaded vehicle I don't think it will make enough difference to offset the drag it adds. ie even down to 15 pounds my metro barely looks like the tires are low IE its very lightly loaded already. so the bearings are not working very hard and the tire patch is not being enlarged very much by the mass of the car IE not much drag to "remove" from rolling resistance.
