What tyre inflator do you use?

Ive got a cheap Ring inflator from Amazon, it was about £12 but it isnt really up to the job (plus its very slow, and bl00dy noisy too), just wondered what you guys carry with you or use to inflate your tyres?

I use one of these Ring RAC900

It works great for the Discovery and Defender so I'm sure it will be fine on a RR Thumbs Up Cheers Ian

I have a Michelin one, but I do run the engine while it’s running. It does run faster and pumps tyres up a bit quicker

One similar to this.

Plugs into the wall not the battery. Slow and noisy, but you can leave it until it's done its job.

At home, a 13cfm compressor with a British Jamec PEM tyre inflator/pressure gauge.

On the road, a compressor bought from, I think, Aldi. I used it a few times to pump up the suspension on the P38A. Ron B. VK2OTC

I can't understand why LR don't have a plug in outlet on the onboard compressor. Then all that is needed is an airline.
I wonder how easy it would be to retro fit one. Idea 2007 Vogue TDV8 in Zermatt Silver with Charcoal

I have a pump that was intended for space saver tyre kit, mine was made by Continental (or trade marked as such) but they are from Michelin as well, the power lead and air line pack up into the main body for storage and it is not very loud and much faster than a cheap pump bought before, have a look on eBay for one. David

Please let me know if my comments upset you, I may wish to upset you again.

The Clarke units which combine jump start pack as well as compressor have served me well in the past... good value if you can stretch to it

big workshop compressor, cant remember how many cfm but it has a 400 litre receiver (dual motor job, came from a spray booth previously).
I also have a 50l carry tank (make by sealey I think), that I charge in the garage and then carry to each of the cars, it a lot easier than dragging out a hose to them.
I also have a compressor that comes from a Porsche 993 that I keep in the car. Its in a box about the size of a CD player.
I even carry a compressor on my motorbike, made by slime and about 100mm square. Pretty noisy but does the job when needed. Too many toys, not enough time

Same as Hairy Dan, Ring RAC900 and I find it reasonable. The gauge reads quite accurately and it works quickly. I find the on / off switch on the unit is not very user friendly as I really want it near the tyre I'm inflating. As the nozzle screws to the valve you can't just release it as you get to pressure, so have to run to where the unit is to turn it off. Then unscrew the nozzle.

ive got one ive had for years from Costco. Its starting to see better days now but works well enough for the time being. Think it is a Bon-Aire one. Has a nice long Flexi hose with it. There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

probably becasue it would exceed the duty cycle and shut down for being too hot just puffing up one tyre. Cheers
