For the definition of "round" applicable to automotive tires, when not "round", various problems can ensue, such as:
excessive vibration accelerated wear elevated noise increased susceptibility to general failure, such as tread separation accelerated wear on other suspension components
I'm aware of the phenomena you mention, but they all result from damage or misconfiguration.
I'm talking real-world physics. ...
The whole point of a pneumatic tire is that it gets squashed out of round.
The definition of round applicable to automotive tires applies to tires not weighted by a vehicle. They need to come out of the mold round, stay that way mounted on an unloaded rim, and return to round after having had vehicle load applied. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
