I always thought that there was a relatively stable relationship between 
those!  :-)
Circumference tends to be a little over 3 times the diameter (3.0 in some 
states)    :-)

If it shifts or squeezes out to the sides, not so much.
If it compresses, yes.

Before TPMS, some cars got a crude estimation of low tire pressure by 
comparing the RPM of a tire (ABS sensors) with its fully inflated 
brethren.
(circumference changing with pressure change)
