Is a pressurized air object heavier?

In other words, is an object heavier when it contains compressed air
than when it's empty? For example, if I have a tire and weigh it
before pumping it full of air, will it be heavier after it's pumped
up? I say NO. A friend of mine insists it will be heavier once it's
filled with air. Who is right?

Your friend.
