Default Does a tyre change its CIRCUMFERENCE when underinflated?

Aren't twin lorry tyres linked by a pipe between the tyres? So they're
inflated as one?


The inner one usually just has a much longer filler pipe so it can be
pumped up from outside the outer wheel, and that is from a mate of mine
that drives them for a living and you can check that by looking at them.
