What I get out of these posts is that he's simply measuring the difference between the ride height and then making the assumption that the tire diameter is changing... so if the tires were under-inflated to begin with (28psi seems really low) and then they are pumped up, then naturally the ride height will increase... doesn't mean the diameter of the tire increases though.
