Not very much. So a 14" tire would probably hold about/approx/educated guess, maybe 5 liters??? or 5,000 cm3. Weight of the air maybe would be about 16 grams. Not very much....??? Am I close???  Even at 10 liters of air, 32 grams???? Not very much..

I would have to agree! Good math. The weight of the air in the tires is such a minute level it will not change the overall weight of the tire and wheel comb.
