Yes and no, your speedometer would read slightly higher

tire width and pressure has more of a difference. I believe a taller tire would take more psi at max however that is offset by the tire being taller. So more max sidewall psi but the same contact area

My truck has 80psi max sidewall psi because they are so tall
