I suppose it's somewhat a matter of definition whether they're a part of the suspension, but tires are definitely taken into account in vehicle suspension design, and the pressure definitely affects the ride. Manufacturers actually publish charts giving a load/pressure relationship for ST tires, they are not meant to "always be run at max pressure" (even though that may be true for tires which are spec'd for use at the limit).
Tires are not mfd to be 'suspension components', the more they flex the hotter they will run, and then fail; ST tires should always be run at max pressure
