It is remarkable that we have different views on this.
You cut off the rest of the quote where I explained why it works this way.
So, we're done with theory for now.

I'm going to measure the rolling distance of one rotation this weekend., if the weather allows.
That should either prove or disprove my point; will report one way or the other.
I expect it to be about 2 cm shorter than the circumference as measured over the tire tread, and consider it falsified if the difference is less than one cm.

The difference should be more than one inch with new tires, but mine are fairly worn.

For confirmation go to people just like you.
For education go to people unlike yourself.
