Anybody got any recommendations for "onboard" air compressor? Replacing the BMW tires, and not going to use runflats because they are garbage, and the car has no spare. My woman ain't going to change a tire regardless, she's calling AAA. PSS on sale at Tire Rack. So. For road trips I need something small, light, but with some guts. Any of you offroad kings got such a device to "air up" and "air down" and all that other bro stuff you do?

I've had that thing for years, and it works great for airing up after airing down offroad. Might not be the fastest, but for the price it's reliable.

So, you're going to keep a plug kit and the compressor in the car? What about just a can of fix a flat? That's what I keep in my :poorvette:

I have one of the Slime branded compressors that we got years ago from VatoZone. It's clearly not the fastest at airing up 31+ inch tires, but it has served us well for 8 years or something like that? Same style as the one Dplac linked.

Only for road trips. My experiences with tire failure are picking up a screw or nail, parking, coming back hours later, and a complete flat or serious deflation. This would air it up to get me to a tire shop. Blowouts/destroyed tires I generally ascribe to cheap tires or people people running them on the wear bars, which I don't do. Pothole scenario would fuck me, but I will risk that. We have AAA Gold. Load it on a flatbed.

Seems to me that a can of fix a flat would work just as well for way cheaper. :iono:

I would have that too. I just seriously question the ability to fully inflate an automobile tire with a fking aeresol can

They're fine. I've used them successfully in the past. If they let you down, call AAA.

It just seems silly to keep an air compressor in the can that you may never use.

Ohhh, you don't own a portable air compressor at all?

Certainly something worth having at your disposal...but it's never in the vehicle you need it to be in when you need it.

Make sure that's pumped up and throw it in the trunk of the Bimmer for road trips. I'm sure woman won't mind that she can't bring a second bag because the "just in case" air compressor is taking up half the trunk.

I dunno, I had one for a while. It was fine, but overall more of a pain in the ass than just having a pickup.
