Tire Pump (4 Viewers)

[hikerneil]

I am leaving town in a few days to hit some trails in Utah. I plan to air down for some of the sandy trails, so I will need to air the tires back up after completing the drive on the remote sandy trails. I have a 2024 GX550 Overtrail, so my car has no built-in tire pump.

Is there a go-to portable pump that everyone is using? Or one that you have used with great success? I want one that will obviously air all four tires from 20 psi back up to full pressure.

There was a good conversation here with some recommendations, good luck.

This Milwaukee M18 Inflator is my favorite Milwaukee power tool. It's inflated all four of my OT 18 inch tires from ~10psi to 35psi in less than 10 minutes on one not-perfectly-fresh 5ah battery without overheating. If you can wait, it'll usually go on sale during Home Depot's big quarterly sales for "free" if you buy another Milwaukee item like their 2 pack of 5ah batteries - those deals are screamers.

It's always with me when I go to track days and endurance races, and it's such a great tool that I've had to write my name on it, because two of my endurance racing teammates bought their own and we ended up having 3 of them at a test day.

If you're going to use it to air up & down multiple times per trip without recharging, I might suggest carrying two batteries (5ah minimum) or buying a bigger 8 / 12ah battery. Airing up all 4 tires drained about 1/2 of my 5ah battery, according to the gauge.

Viair makes some of the best portable pumps you can get.
