Mark,

Your discussion is way beyond my mathematical experience, so I won't even try to go into a math-based argument. But, doesn't your diagram above show that the effective radius is based on the height of the axle above the ground?

"H" seems like it dictates that the effective circumference is based on the height of the axle, and is totally independent of "R". If you have a balloon tire, somewhat under-inflated, would that not be a simple experiment to execute? I have no pneumatic tires, balloon or otherwise, so I can't perform the experiment.

Just observing from the sidelines, while you mathematicians discuss, and try to make sense of your arguments. It's giving me a headache, though!
