How can there be no moisture in the CO2 in my tires if CO2 is called a liquid gas?

CO2 has the unique characteristic of being able to be stored in a dense amorphous liquid state under pressure (~800 PSI). When CO2 is at atmospheric pressure it goes from a solid (dry ice, -100F) straight to a gas (smoke on top of the Halloween punch bowl) and skips the liquid state. Dont get CO2 confused with a more familiar chemical called H2O which goes from a solid (+32F) to a liquid and then to a gas. Does H2O condense into moisture with temperature changes? Yes. Does CO2? No. Does CO2 cause H2O to condense more with temperature changes and cause Equal to clump? No and no.
