I think you're being imprecise with your terms. You're either not saying anything or not saying quite the correct thing; I can't figure out which.
The "effective circumference" has a
standard designation: "
rolling circumference".
(He's only saying what I've been arguing for pages anyway. That is, his comment is a "drive by posting" that doesn't add anything to the discussion (he clearly hasn't read the posts in the thread!).
Anyway, the issue his post does not address is how that value relates to the circumference of the tire!
