While you may "flatten" the tire out on the road, it will be at the expense 
of more heat generated and hence "faster" wear.  AND the area that is most 
worn (the center), will still be directly in contact with the pavement, AND 
at higher temps.  I doubt you would gain any additional mileage this way.  
And in fact would be showing cord more quickly.
