Default Does a tyre change its CIRCUMFERENCE when underinflated?

Why would there be monitors on steering angle?


For the stability control system.


All to modern for me.


It's because there are so many inputs available to the electronics,
wheel speeds, steering angle, yaw rate, accelerometer(s), that figuring
out a flat tyre has just become another part of TCB to the ABS unit.

Never seen steering angle sensed yet on any car I've driven.


I thought you have/had a Disco?
Surprising if such a relatively high centre of mass vehicle didn't have
stability control (or whatever LR call it)
