Hmmm. I'm not convinced that you can make that conclusion from the source you quoted. I would have agreed with you if you had said:
"more air pressure added to an underinflated tire DOES slightly change the diameter of a tire." I agree because the steel belts and sidewalls may not be fully tensioned when underinflated. But i see nothing in the quote that says that adding air pressure to a properly inflated tire changes the diameter. I know that i am splitting hairs here but I like to do that.
