Larry,

No it doesn't because the tire is depressed slightly by the weight of the car, 
the actual rolling circumference will
depend on the air pressure in the tire.  If you are trying to measure it, 
either measure the radius from the center
of the wheel to the ground and calculate the circumference or put a mark on the 
tire and on the ground, push the car
so that the tire roles one revolution and measure back to the mark on the 
ground.
