Default Does a tyre change its CIRCUMFERENCE when underinflated?

Its all different when its on a car rather than say a rolling road.
On a car as you go faster the load tangential to the contact area
increases with speed due to air resistance.

Also the tyre will become more circular as the speed goes up.
