In all the years I've been putting too much air in everything out of sheer laziness, I've never experienced this to any measurable degree.

I have very limited experience with Bias ply highway rated tires, though, and seldom use "balloon" tires or those with an unreasonably high aspect ratio or unreasonably wide tread pattern under the same circumstances as other highway rated tires.
