If the tube nut is not used, the stem wants to retreat into the tube
when you try to attach the pump head. This may not be a big deal on
skinny road tires, where pushing on the tire will hold the stem in
place, but that action is harder to do on fat tires (particularly
knobby tires with relatively stiff sidewalls).
