Default Does a tyre change its CIRCUMFERENCE when underinflated?

An interesting thing related to this: if you have a DSG-equipped VAG
car, and it starts refusing to change up gears (but will do it if you
use the lever to tell it to change up), it's an ABS sensor failing. It
generally won't trigger an fault code for a while. It's done that way so
it won't auto-change up half way around a corner, apparently.
