After centering the tire I inflate the tire well above the pressure I intend to use (say, 100psi if I'm aiming at 60-80psi ride pressures), then do the 24-hour wait. This (I believe anyway) makes sure the base tape is sealed all the way around and is pushed all the way into the well of the rim. I wonder if the "roll on ground" step is intended to achieve the same goal.
