Yes, tires grow, especially in the first 24 hours.

As a matter of fact, we used to have a measurement test we called "24 hour measurements". Tires grow a bit after that - enough to measure, but not enough to worry about.

How much do they grow? I don't remember. but I do remember the 2 to 3 psi the test guys used, because when I mounted my own tires, I used that and it worked.
