    I'm a tire pressure freak. I'm always checking and filling my tires to exactly the right cold pressure. I have bought and disposed of too many pumps and air compressors to count. Until now, the only thing that was decent was a 40 gallon canister style compressor that I bought at Wallmart. The only problem was that I had to wait until the canister was full of air before I could use it and it took a couple of minutes in between tires to fill up again.

    Well, I found a great electric pump that works really fast. Its a BONAIRE 2/3 HP AIRTECH PROFESSIONAL that I got from AutoSport for arounf 50 bucks. It's awesome and fast. It will take a low profile tire from 25 to 25 pound in about 30 seconds without any pre-filling since it doesn't have a canister.

    I highly reccomend it to any tire pressure freaks like me!

    JUST THOUGH I WOULD LET YOU GUYS KNOW...

    Mercedes do some good ones for about £25000 - £50000. I think you get a free car with it ;)

    Isn't Mario who says to check your tires once a month (it can't be once a week or something is wrong)? At least 2-3 months goes by before I notice a change (1/2#). I've got a Wrangler that is constantly losing air after a new install, complained to the tire dealer @ problem, they put them in the H2O tank and said that they aren't leaking---Yeah, Right!!

    i would think you could do that without a compressor.

    Correct. Usually just staring at the tire will get it done!

    But with a 40 gallon compressor, why do you need to wait for it to fill up between tires? Even my 15 gallon will do the entire car without turning on.

    You don't need any air or time to go from 25 to 25...

    Check your tire valves.
