Information you don't need but related to a recent VV discussion on
inflating tires:

Weight of a cubic foot of air at 60°F and 30 psi is 0.232 pounds.

So a typical Corvair sized tire increases its weight about 1/3 of a pound
from flat to full inflation.

ps, the hotter the air, the less it weighs at the same pressure.
