Cheap tires + Speed = Blown tire
Last year around this time I posted how everybody on the highway whether car or truck and trailer were blowing by me and I passed maybe 2 people over several hours on the road with my cruise set at 67...

With my trailer and truck I get better mileage at 75 than I do at 67. the reason is because the rpms are bit higher which puts the engine into a better spot in its power band.
Since more speed requires more horsepower, and more horsepower requires more fuel, I don't think that it is possible to improve fuel mileage by increasing speed.
You wouldn’t think so, but looking at my throttle position parameters on the tablet throttle opening and engine load are approx. 12% less at 75 as opposed to 65!
It is very easy to see that if the engine is at the rpm where it’s making the most torque it will not work as hard!
