Default Does a tyre change its CIRCUMFERENCE when underinflated?

Answer. not by very much, if at all.


But the radius clearly does vary significantly.

This seems to be a perpetual urban myth.


It can't be given that Andy and others have had a number
of warnings that have turned out to be accurate every time.

It tyre pressure sensors are using this, it has to be a very very
complicated bit of software to detect - say - less than 1% change in RPM
relative to the other wheels.


Yes, but that isn't hard to measure when its relative to other wheels.
