Default Portable air compressor

Hey guys, looking for a decent air compressor for a 12v application. Needs to fill up 32x11.50r15 tires. I tried searching for a thread before I made this one and I was looking at garage applications. Looking to refill tires after beach or quick fill if tire looks low, any suggestions? Thanks for the help!

Maybe one of those ones the roofing guys use. They are like 2-5 gallons and gas powered but gonna get pricy the nicer you go. I have those cheepo $10 cigerette lighter ones I keep in my truck for emergencies but those will suck to air up 4 tires. I'm sure they sell actual ones for 12v I just don't know anything about them

Google 'superflow mv50' its a small inexpensive compressor that will do exactly what you want it for along with several other use. Here's what it looks like and its in my hand so you can see how small it is

i have this one and i love it! i have stock size tires, but i air'd down one of them when i first got this compressor to about 12 psi. hooked up the compressor and it put it back up to about 45 psi in about 2 mins. the air gauge that comes with it isnt accurate with anything else that i had. plus you can screw it onto the valve stem and walk away to do other things while its filling up.

The superflow one looked a little small for my application, plus I'm kind if impatient and hate waiting. I really like the one twip put up. Probably going to buy that one today. Thanks guys

they make a bigger one too. puts out more CFM. made by the same people but it is larger. i just like the one that i have because its big enough for what i need, but small enough to take up little space. kinda the in between.
