Lol...Propane turns into a liquid form when compressed, that's why it is heavy -- the air we pump into the tires does not turn into a liquid form, not even when it's heavily compressed, like for a scuba diving tank (1000+ psi). So it weights nothing that we would notice.
So which is heavier: 1 ton of the softest cotton or 1 ton of lead?

... Yes a tire will weigh more inflated vs deflated. You are increasing the density of the air inside the tire therefore it WILL weigh more. Not saying that it's a huge difference, but everything has weight so something full has to weigh more than something that is empty.

But an empty balloon is still heavier than a balloon filled with helium

Lol...No, I think it's closer to 3.5 lbs more per tire with air filled in them -- I weighted the bucket of air myself.
