Default Does a tyre change its CIRCUMFERENCE when underinflated?

One revolution of the wheel has to equal one passage of the tire's

Talk of "effective radius" is not relevant.


So are saying the circumference remains constant, hence the rpm remains
constant, hence iTPMS cannot work?


If you were to measure the speed of rotation of the wheel at any single
point on it, that would vary depending on where it was to the road contact
point. Virtually no drive mechanism transmits a perfectly uniform speed
from input to output. There is invariably a degree of 'chatter'.
