Should A Car Pull To The Side...

With lower tire pressures?
Assuming a vehicle with suspension in good shape, and, IE., up to 5psi lower tire pressures in the tires on one side, than on the other.
My theory is: NO.
#1. The tires with lower pressure, will have a shorter rolling radius, and will, up to a point, roll faster(higher RPM) than the higher pressure tires on the other side. The vehicle might even pull toward the side with higher pressures, IE: 1-3 higher. But, beyond a certain point - more than a 5psi difference side to side, the drag on the lower pressure side will overcome rolling radius, and pull the vehicle to that side.
Thoughts?
