Low-pressure tires turn at a different speed from the others.”””
Not sure I am buying that.

The WHOLE car is moving at X speed. One tire cannot move at a lower speed..... Don’t know that could possibly happen.

A low tire has a smaller diameter so it has to turn faster.

True, I did not clearly state that explanation.
The rate of rotation will be different.

Moving on, when the car with all four tires properly inflated is rolling down the road at exactly sixty miles per hour, how fast is the very bottom of the tire going?

Answer: ZERO.
