This is for all you more experienced travelers. We bought 2 air compressors the other day to use to fill up the pin box and the tires. We wanted something small but powerful enough to go to a minimum 80#'s. We have E rated tires and they call for 80# cold. 1 compressor woudln't go above 65. This was a small automatic one by Kobalt. Select the pressure and walk away. I set it to 80 and it had stopped at 65. The other was from Home Depot. It filled the tires but took forever. Does anyone out there have recommendations for a compressor that they travel with?

Like everything this is a compromise, pressure, size and affordable. The best I could do is a Porter Cable model #C2004-WK, 165 psi at 29 lbs. It was purchased at Home Depot.

Sears has one that is rated at 150#. It is oil less and does a good job with my g tires at 110#. I think it was about $80.00 on sale.

I may have the same unit. It works quite well for pumping up the G614 tires to 110 psi.
Sears Craftsman Model No. 919.153090
150 PSI max
2.0 CFM @90 PSI
1.5 Gallon air chamber
Regular Price: $129.00
Sale Price: $89.00 to $99.00

Unfortunately, Sears don't list it anymore. Tried a search, and it wasn't found.

Do you have a Sears close by? They may be able to help.

Is the Viair 400c hard mount or portable? How long does it take to inflate the G tires to 110 psi?

I ordered a 12 volt compressor from amazon that I think is a Viair and we like it but it blows fuses like crazy so I bout a relay to put in it's place. The compressors that can handle the 110 psi usually have alligator clips for the batteries instead of the cigarette plug.

I use a 115v, 200psi compressor ... as I have a generator I did not want to limit myself to a wimpy 12v motor.

I'd like to get one with a tank as I want to be able to use it with an airbrush(with an additional regulator). so I'll keep looking.

Airbrush!? I did that for a living for over thirty years.Graphic designer.I still have my little compressor w/tank. But in my new life I use a pancake from Home Depot. They're much lighter now. Lots of air so you can blow off surfaces or parts easily.

2.Model No. 15215 rated at 135 PSI with 4 gallon tank, weighs 42 lbs. $129.
