Hi; I am not sure if this pump could be used on tires; it might be possible as long as there is an tire adapter, all I can say first look to see if there is one & try it. Good Luck --- PS If this does work share it with others. Take care. Mrs. McMillen

I answered this question a while ago here and my answer should be located within the write up reviews; That said, I shall answer it again. This is not the correct kind of pump you would or could use on bicycle, car, motorcycle tires with. It is only good for inflating and deflating what would be air mattresses, pool accessories, and such. The adapters are not made to fit anything other than air mattresses, etc. I hope this helps. For the car, motorcycle, bike tires you will need a compressor air pump. You can either go to an old-style gas station, go to your favorite car tire center, or purchase any multitude of compressor air pumps listed on Amazon.com, or other site.

MY answer was assuming you wanted to actually fill your tires with air! Otherwise why would you be looking to buy a compressor to just ck the tire pressure? .. if thats the case , just by a simple tie pressure gauge!

If you are low on air in a tire or two, this is very useful for pumping tires. I've used mine several times to pump up a tire that was down maybe 10 to 20 PSI and it of course takes longer but not that much longer and it works great if it's the only pump you have. #useyourmouth

This pump is not appropriate for the inflation of bicycle tires. It cannot provide the high pressure needed to inflate bike tires. This pump is for objects that require large volumes of air, but low pressure, like air mattresses, yoga/therapy balls, inflatable rafts,etc. You need to buy a bicycle tire specific air pump for that.

I dont know why it cant be used for motorcycle tires my road bike tires take a lot more pressure lots of volume to pump though!

Yes. I have used to air up lawn mower tires, auto tires and even forklift tires. You may have to let it catch up but it is a good little compressor. I am glad I purchased it.

I imagine it could be, but I would think it would take quite awhile to fill a tire. It's a small compressor, because the air bags don't take much air.

Although the valve of the pump would screw onto a standard tire "stem valve" the relatively small amount of air that the pump itself displaces would not be an efficient way of putting air into your tire. It is absolutely great for the intended purpose of putting air into air shocks, but would be frustrating to use on tires.

If you need something to do car tires, you'd be better off getting a multi-purpose battery jumper pack with built in pump that can run on it's own charge anywhere, so you are covered in any emergency. Some of them you can even recharge from your cigarette lighter while driving.

Absolutely not, it only takes a few minutes to pump up the tires. Your battery would have to be in very sorry shape to run out using this device.

This should not be used for automotive tires. It's designed for motorcycle, bicycle tires and is designed small because motorcycles dont have much room. Your car should not be so crowded that you need a pump this small. For another 20$ at sams club you can get a self contained battery jump box, pump, light system that is simply impractical for motorcycles.

It would work but I wouldn't recommend it. This is more like a one tire emergency filler. It takes a long time to fill tires with this. I would recommend a real air compressor with a tank for your needs.

Hey David Your question is something I don't think I can answer. I don't think it would have much problem with a car tire.it's rated to 150 psi and it recovers really fast .but it only has a 1.2 gallon tank makes sense thT it might be able to do it buy I don't want say yes for sure

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!

Absolutely not. This is a very small, low-volume, high pressure pump for bike tires. You would spend literally hours trying to inflate an air mattress with it.

This pump is designed to be used with adjustable air shocks. It does not put out the volume needed to pump up a car or motorcycle tire. It may pump up a bike tire, but it would take a while. You would be better off buying an actual bike pump...

Ms. Betty, I'm not sure what kind of tires you are looking to fill, but it wouldn't work on a car, motorcycle or bike tire. For those, I believe you'd need a compressor.
