Does a tyre change its CIRCUMFERENCE when underinflated?

It *has* to integrate over a fairly long time and number of rotations to

Or, given that it knows the steering wheel angle, it might chose to
ignore readings during turns.
I would imagine (and I've not
done the calculations) that the difference in rotational speed between
inner and outer wheel on a bend will be significantly more than the
difference in rotational speed between a correctly-inflated and an
under-inflated wheel
I'd say much greater
so any TPMS has to average out this large
difference in order to be able to detect a much smaller one.
