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...

You have to put X number of cubic inches of air into the tire to raise the pressure by 1 psi. The 3 things that affect that are the size of the compressor's piston, the pressure the compressor puts out, and the pressure in the tire.
The bigger the compressor piston, the more air it will move in a unit of time. (Big compressor good, small compressor bad.)
The pressure of the compressor is almost a constant. It is determined by the size of the compressor piston and the RPM's it is running.
As the tire's pressure rises, the air will flow in slower. That is why a flat tire airs up rapidly right at first, then slows down considerably as it gets fuller.
The one thing that won't affect this is the load on the tires from the vehicle.
