Since no wheel is circular using radious as a concept is plain wrong.
At best you can calcualate a '*radius it would be if it were round*,'
from the actual circumference.
The use of radius is completely right.
The circumference doesn't change. The centre of the instantaneous circle
moves closer to the radius.
The tyre is a three dimensional structure and this debate is being
conducted in a two dimensional manner.
I hope no one ebver emp;loys you in an engineering capacity.
The use of radius is meaningless. The the tyre is not round.
Go and get a technical education
