Default Does a tyre change its CIRCUMFERENCE when underinflated?

Bingo.

I was walking round the park with our daughter earlier and I gave her
the nutshell iTPMS overview and asked her how she thought it might
work ... how the circumference could become shorter for the iTPMS to
'sense' the increased RPM.

"As the tyre gets flatter it spreads more and that makes the
circumference shorter and so the revs higher?"

Not convinced and that summary makes no sense either. Why would
the tyre 'spread more' as it gets flatter and why would the
circumference
get shorter even if it did


Well that is the obvious bit, less pressure means more of the tyre has
to be in contact with the road to take the load.

The circumference of a tyre is not a fixed length.


For the purposes of this discussion, it is.


So that you can prove something that actually wors doesn't and for you
to win a false argument!
Then you claim to be using physics.
You must be a failed climate scientist who thinks proving the impossible
by changing the laws of physics is a good thing.
