what would the air pressure get to on a ATV tire?

A lot depends on the size of the ATV tire. Typical CO2 cartridges are 16 grams and fill road bike (skinny 700x23) tires. Mountain bike tires are approx. 2x the dia (or 2X the volume) and most folks use the larger 20 gram cartridge. You must consider that the larger the volume and/or the higher the desired tire pressure, the more CO2 you'll need. So, your options are to use several 16/20 g carts to fill the tire (be sure to use an inflator w/ a regulator valve (think on/off dial, which the Portland Design has) so you don't lose the CO2 you just put in while you add a 2nd cart. Or you can rig your own by getting a large refillable cartridge/tank commonly used by paintballers. You might also check out a mini compressor that you can plug into a cigarette lighter or connect to the battery. The mini comp is available at most automotive stores and while you're there check out the aerosol flat fixers or something that has worked great in my MTB tires as well as the knobbies on my KLR 650, "slime" (actual product name). Good luck and keep the rubber side down.

depends on what air pressure ypou inflate to. Only way to accuartly measure is to inflate as you will ride it, then put tire valve at bottom of tire touching ground (mark spot), roll it forward 2 revolutions until valve is again at bottom (mark spot), and measure distance, divide by 2 (I use 2 revolutions for accuracy).

I've been riding mine for about a month with the tires at about 90-95psi with no problems. I saw the comments about blow outs and kept it a little lower for safety's sake.

That's asking a lot....... What size are the tires? If you're talking bicycle tires..... no problem. If you're talking a truck tire, it may take long enough for the compressor to over-heat. Let's say that you are just topping off a truck tire with 90# of air and you want 100#...... they may not be a problem. I topped up my trailer tires to 80# all the time. Heat builds up in the motor as the pressure builds higher over longer periods of time.

The pressure gauge used to both read the pressure, and set the maximum pressure, has a max setting of 150psi. The trip needle would probably make it cut out at 148ish. So in theory it should be capable of this pressure.FYI the compressor is fairly slow. I used it on a tire with 20 psi, it took about 3 minutes to fill it to 35 psi.

My tires are 265/70R17's and the rear tires took less than 3 minutes to go from 60 to 80 PSI. I selected 60 PSI for the rear tires to go off road so the low air pressure alarm on the display doesn't trip as often. Nothing scientific, just an annoyance factor. I'm not a tire guy but it seems that you would have a higher volume of air so I would expect longer fill time.

The minimum tire pressure is 35 lbs. and the maximum tire pressure is 55 lbs. You can read this on the side of the tire.

The recommended psi (pounds per square inch) should be on the side of the tire. If not, for a 16" tire you should inflate to between 30 and 40 psi. If no pressure gauge handy, just give it the old feel test. Inflate the tire until you get to the point where you press on the tire with your thumb and the tire barely indents. I hope this helps!

I'm not sure of the exact pressure, however I do have road bike tires and I was able to fill my tire (from flat) to be able to finish my ride without noticing any change in pressure. The tire was hard and I did have CO2 left over, although I don't know how much. After every emergency use I re-pack a new cartridge. I always keep two in my saddle bag.

It needs a lot of strength to pump more air into the tire once the tire pressure reach 40 or 45 PSI.

The only way to remove air from a tire (or whatever else you are using) is to place the coupler into the tire valve and bleed off the air. You have to push the center of the valve in to place air in the tire and pump it up. Without pulling the trigger on the handle, you can push the tire valve center in and allow air out of the tire. So far as I can tell, the tire pressure gauge is quite accurate.

It should work fine for that. And while you could set the regulator down to the pressure you want in your tire, you would better off leaving the regulator at full pressure and using a manual triggered tire inflater (with pressure gauge) at the end of your air hose. Tire inflaters like this often have built-in air bleeder buttons too, allowing you to instantly release excess pressure if you pump in too much.

According to the product info, "12 VOLT - 100 PSI Maximum Working Pressure, engine must be running during use." This seems to be saying it will inflate tires more quickly if the engine is running, slower if it is not.

phil again I saw some 130 psi answers, Im holding the tire in my hand & it says MAX PSI 100 lbs on the sidewall. You should never OVER INFLATE any tire, could be DANGEROUS !!!!!

The gauge will not read pressure while your adding air. When you release the lever it should read the tire pressure. I'm a professional mechanic & have used mine on cars & heavy duty trucks. Pressures ranging from 30-120psi. The gauge has always been very accurate. Milton is at the top for quality for many years. Hope this helps.

That's the size tire I have on my trailer, the stem is offset about 30 degrees, has worked fine. But remember to inflate after mounting, deflate completely while holding on to the valve stem (remove core) and re-inflate while still holding stem, so tube will be inflated in that position.
