Tire Inflate Quicker w/ no load ?
A friend said his MH tires air up quicker when he unloads the weight. I told him maybe, but not by enuff he would ever notice the difference. W/o getting all mathmatically technical, would you agre...

Well, its hard to disagree that the more weight you place on a tire, the higher the pressure will go. That idea comes from the fact (is it fact) that if you could/would continue adding weight, the tire could eventually blowout from excessive pressure.
So I can believe that if the tire is unloaded, it will have less pressure in it, and in theory would inflate faster. But when I did it, loaded and unloaded, I couldn't see any difference on my analog air gauge. When I google it, at 100 lbs pressure, you would see only about 1/2 lb difference on a digital gauge.
So I conclude my friend is correct in theory, but not in actuality.
