Doone,
The free circumference is not a very accurate reading. It is the rolling circumference that matters. There is a paper on the process for measuring the rolling circumference in Files.
Where there is a difference between the total rolling circumference front to rear, the VC will be trying to equalize the difference and therefore working when it should not..

Different tyre sizes and the VC
I have a question about damage to the VC if tyres are too different in
size. I obtained a set of four tyres 50% used and one new one. All are the same
brand and size. The circumferencial size difference between the used tyres and
the new one is 15mm (Used 2090mm, new 2105mm). Can I run the new one with the
old ones? I could buy a second new one and run one new and one old on the front
and one new and one old on the rear. Would that mean that the VC is not under
load on the highway?
Thanks
