Say I'm playing in a group of 4 and I put my ball in the rough off the tee and decide to play a provisional.....

.....is it polite (or in the rules even) for me to wait until everyone else has hit their tee shot before hitting my provisional?
 
Not sure about rules, but I would always wait for everyone else just because that's what I've always done and what I've seen done every time.
 
It's not just a matter of manners, it's a must do in the Rules.

Rule 10-3 If a player plays a provisional ball or another ball from the teeing ground, he must do so after his opponent or fellow-competitor has made his first stroke.
