How is this compressor at inflatinf tires?

It is pretty fast the pump has a lot of power any over a 125 psi I would look at something bigger but speed is there for most tire 30-40 seconds for most truck tires tops!

Very dicey. A quick trip to Harbor Freight will get you a heavier compressor for not a lot of money. (I have the http://www.harborfreight.com/10-gal-25-hp-125-psi-oil-lube-air-compressor-61490.html )

Compressor has worked well so far. Installed summer 2013. I have never heard a quiet one.

I've only ran it up to 90 psi. It done that easy. On a small compressor on how much presure they will pump up to depends on the compressor and how heavy the vehicle is your trying to lift. If your trying to air up a tire on car or pickup this compressor should not have a problem. Is your trying to air up a tire on a loaded 18 wheeler your going to be SOL.

Yea, I read all kinds of reviews before I bought this one. I think it is great for the price and does a very good job. I last used it this summer to air my tires back up from 15lb to 38lb and it took seconds of each tire. I did not time it but I would say 15 to 20 seconds each tire and if you are doing less of a big gap in LB's then even quick time. I love mine.

120 psi. Cfm are very low. This thing can not keep up with most basic tasks, ideal for inflating tires and shooting a couple nails. But really, save your money and get something nicer by any other brand.

Bettyann, I have this inflator, but I use it to inflate or "top off" my car tires or my lawn tractor tires. It does a good job on those in a very reasonable amount of time. I assume it would also do a good job in your situation even though yours is more about the volume of air at relative low pressure while my use is more about the pressure of the air at relatively low volume. Hope this helps a little.

I have used my to run my nail guns, fill up the lawn mower tires and bike tires. I am very happy with the compressor..

150psi, auto shut off. I'd recommend an aux air tank to assist the compressor for filling tires over 35in or running air tools.

This is a sufficient compressor to inflate auto tires, but you will need to have a tire inflator for it.

I've had one for about four years. It's very loud but has worked fine. The pressure gauge is off by five PSIs but once you inflate the tires and check it with a better gauge, you'll know when to stop inflating by adjusting for the difference. I have to replace it now as the air hose is cracked. I would not recommend cramming the hose into the storage space.

This compressor was made strictly for airing up tires. It has battery clamps to car battery, no converter to run off an outlet. The valve stem tool does not come off, not interchangeable with other tools. It will inflate a car tire in under 2 minutes, so for the intended purpose it works great. I've not tried it on smaller things so don't know the ratings of cfm. I suppose a person could custom modify it if one knew how to attach fittings.

Well, this one has a rather small reservoir also, so it will completely discharge itself into the tire in a few seconds, then slowly chug its way up to the 120 psi you require. However, that having been said, I find it does an adequate job airing up pretty much anything I have used it for. Have used it quite a bit over the last year and have had no problems. Remarkably easy to carry around and as long as you buy a good hose and pressure gauge, it should do the job. It won't be fast like a huge reservoir compressor, but it will get the job done.

Use a standard air compressor with a tire inflator. The same as inflating a bike or car tire. Use a tire pump for that matter.

I got a $10 air compressor at Dollar General I keep in my trunk....works perfect. That way I can inflate right before going down the hill and deflate before going in.

I have that exact compressor. It not only works well, but I've even used a 12V extension cord to help reach the back tires. As I mentioned in my review, I've also used it to run an electric impact wrench and an electric scissor jack. BTW, for tire changing, it's helpful to have an extension cord with multiple outlets. That way, you can plug everything in and not have to walk around to the battery to swap out the plugs (obviously, you should only run one thing at a time). With this set-up, you can jack up the vehicle - I use the InstaJack - and take the lug nuts off while barely breaking a sweat. As a side note, I bought this clip-on power socket because the power sockets in my Tundra would shut off before I could finish inflating the tires or jacking it up off of the ground.

Michael.This compressor was not designed for this job. The volume it produces is far too small to do a tire in a reasonable amount of time. ARB offers a tire inflation kit (part #171302) that can be fitted to any of the larger compressors such as the CKMA12. However, even that model is slow. Expect a 30 minute fill time for a tire. if you have any questions please let us know
