Air Pump Recommendations? Regular Tire Maintenance

[NateDaGreat58]

Hi Everyone,

I'm looking to purchase a small, simple, reliable, and good quality air compressor/pump for maintaining the air pressure in my tires. Ideally I would like this to be under $100. Just got a garage with my apartment (finally!) to take care of my future 15 DBP Si Sedan and am stocking the shelves with tools and such for basic maintenance.

Is there anything out there that you guys would recommend?

I have a small electric air pump that I use for various applications, but for topping off my car and mc tyres I use a normal bicycle floor stand pump. It's more likely to be used when all that is needed, is to walk around your car and just do it.
* Takes about 5 full pumps per pound *
*Something else to consider, is when using a motor pump is the condensation that blows into the tyre with the air..... It's better to have dry air in your tyres.*

I have something from Slime I picked up from walmart. It has an autoshut off at the PSI you set. That is, if you set it at 32 it'll pump and auto shut off at 32.


Amazon has it.
