Will this work okay on car tires? (And yes, I know it will be slow! But I like to keep a pump in the car, just in case, and the old one is kaput.)

I don't think I would try and pump a car tire with this, it probably would blow.

I have not used mine yet, but I feel sure it would work just fine, but it will give you a workout pumping up a flat tire......

yes, you can use it for bikes or car tires. I use it for me car. It's loud, but it works.

This probably wouldn't work for that. It is a small pump made for mountain bike shocks. It can be used for bike tires but takes a while due to the small size of the pump.

I keep this in my car in case I get a flat. It will pump up my car tire. You'll notice it comes in a solid case, ideally for putting in your car or rv. I've inflated tubes for river rafting. You can also use this in a boat for pulling people in tubes.

Yes it will. I inflated my ,car tire to 34psi and it took about 10 minutes,so double that time.

If you don't have a compressor with a tire filling attachment, you can always go to a gas station with a tire station for filling you car's tires. Or you can fill it up with a tire pump which would be tiring! I use my compressor!

No, it works very well, and is very fast. It does, as all pumps do get hot- but I have not had any problems with it at all- and my 22 year old son uses the pump A LOT. I bought it to top off tires on my camper and truck, as well as my riding mower tires. Randy

It would take a very long time and a lot of work, but it could be done. This pump does not put out a lot of volume, which is fine for a bicycle tire, but not for something as big as an air mattress. Look for something larger.

Yes. I've pumped up many bike tires with it. It has a screw-on connector, so it's not as quick as snapping on a clip. I've only pumped up fat-tire bikes with it, but feel confident it could handle the higher pressure of a road bike tire. It pumps fast since it pumps on both strokes. Highly recommended.

I have not, but it will work on any "schrader" (automotive style) valve stem equipped tire. the only issue you night have, is on a "larger" tire like a truck or motor home - because the compressor is a single stage; it is conceivable the compressor could "possible" get quite hot or over heat, from continued operation. I'm not saying this is a certainty - only a possible issue you could encounter, you may not. If so, simply give it a rest to cool down and continue operations after cooled down. No big deal. Just my thoughts. My works spectacularly on cars, motorcycles, lawn tractor - no issues.

Yes, don't know and yes. You have to be careful with it, but it is still faster and takes up less space than a pump. It is no fun trying to get 100 psi from a hand pump on the side of the road. With the lever on this model, it is easy to regulate how fast and how much the tire pumps up. You won't need to dump an entire cartridge on a typical road tire.

I'm sure it would handle it as good as any bike pump can. I use mine with mountain bike tires @ 65 psi, which have a higher volume than the road bike to fill, so it should handle it well even at the higher psi. What makes this pump so nice is the ergonomics of it. You can easily position the pump to maximize your own strength, and as efficiently as possible then fill the tire with a good pressure gauge read out to follow.

try it in a car and boat, run engine so oil was warm, it got primed and pump about a qt. or more very slow and stop pumping, maybe alright for a lawnmower. I think it is junk for a little more money you can get one that works good, If you still need this one I will sell my for 1/2 price only used three time.

any pump rated for car tire pressure will do the job. most bicycle pumps easily make enough pressure.the problem is the bike pump pushes a small volume of air per stroke, so filling a car tire will take a long time. it's more a battle of will than a mechanical issue.

Yes. This is the only tire pump I have for all my vehicles, and it works fine for such purposes. As a kid growing up, we would use bicycle pumps such as these to pump up tires when we had flats and we were on the road, and our spare needed air. A bicycle pump will pump up any tire, regardless of size, as long as the valve stems on the tires are the same as the valve stems of the bicycle pump. Since bicycle tires, car tires, and even semi-truck tires all have the same valve stems, you may use a bicycle pump to pump up any of them. Just make sure the intended PSI of the tire you are pumping up is not greater than the PSI rating of the pump you are using. In this case, the bicycle pump is rated at 70 PSI, more than enough for the average car tire (somewhere around 35ish PSI is average for a car, although it varies from tire to tire). Note when pumping up a car tire, pump it up to the PSI recommended on the specifications sticker located on the driver's side door panel, NOT the max psi listed on the tire. Inflating a tire to its maximum rating will cause it to wear out super fast, and will not handle ideally.

I personally think it works best on dry tires, but have used it on wet (not snowy tires) and to the best of my knowledge, it still helped.

I've used this pump extensively for inflating our cars' tires. After using this pump about 10 times for this purpose, it became impossible to get a good seal between the pump and the car tire's air valve (stem?). The pump is still usable, but I fear it won't be long until this pump allows more air out of the tires than it can put in.
