Question bleeding brakes with a kit using a tyre? quick question!

simple one, I have re-newed all the brake pipes on my vr6 with copper ones.

when using the kit with the tyre, the tyre ran low of air so I changed it for another tyre, only problem is it releases the vacuum when you pop the valve off the tyre, you see loads of air bubbles come from the brake resivoir, so when you put the new tyre on are you putting air back into the braking system?? or am I wrong?

sorry if I sound a bit gobbledygook!

shouldn't matter bud the tyre pressure is supposed to force all the air out (at the nipples) so you can do it in 1 go rather than having to keep going round and round
