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 agree, or disagree ?

    There would be no practical difference; the volume of air in the tire doesn't change perceptibly loaded vs. unloaded. If there was any significant change in volume, the pressure would also change, and the inflation pressure unloaded would be incorrect after the load was applied.

    Hopefully that's not too mathematically technical. I didn't use a single number or variable.

    I find my motorhome tires inflate more rapidly when I actually get the chuck on the valve stem squarely.
