Default Does a tyre change its CIRCUMFERENCE when underinflated?

This "philosopher" hasn't ever noticed the tyre debris on the roads
where the tread has been ripped off.

Maybe he wants to explain why it happens to lorries with twin wheels
where only one tyre has gone flat but is being kept at about the correct
radius by the other wheel?
