Default Does a tyre change its CIRCUMFERENCE when underinflated?

On Sun, 24 Jun 2018 07:12:45 +1000, cantankerous geezer Rot Speed blabbered,
again:


Not if you have any understanding of mechanics. The whole tread,
up to and including a caterpillar track, goes round once per
revolution of the track or tyre.


Surely the circumference changes because the area in contact with the
road is a chord and not an arc.


Nope,


I KNEW it! LMAO
