Default Inflating Tires

One day, I woke up and thought what a PITA it is to drive to the gas station to get air in my tires, only to find I'm short 1 quarter, and then having to go inside to get change to be told "you have to buy something".

So I went on Amazon and bought a portable air compressor tire inflator. The thing works wonders and works like a champ, and for sh!ts and giggles, I turned it on without hooking it up to the valve to see how much air would shoot out, and noticed there were small/tiny water mirco-droplets that were shooting out. I'm thinking these droplets probably made it into the tire, and was wonder if the water/moisture inside the tire would hurt anything or if this is normal. Can't exactly dry out or evaporate out of the tire since the rubber is non-porous.

Yes, I tried searching this site, as well as Google, though Google said something about people filling up their tires with water and not air (?).
