Can this compressor (with the right attachment) be used to put air in the car tires?

All you will need is an air chuck. They sell them separately but I recommend buying the combination kit which also includes the quick connect adapters, a blow gun and sometimes a pressure gauge to check the tire pressure. I think this compressor is an outstanding deal. I use mine as a portable air tank. I air it up in my garage. When it reaches pressure and shuts off I disconnect the electrical plug and carry it out to the car and truck in the driveway. You not only save dragging out and winding up the extension but connecting it directly to the wall plug avoids the possibility of overloading the extension cord if it is not a heavy enough gauge.

I've done it but it takes patience as the reserve tank is small so you have to wait for it to build more pressure. This compressor is designed for air nailers. If your buying it just to fill tires you will need a bigger tank.

Yes, I use this compressor to air my tires. You will need to purchase attachment available in any hardware or home supply store for $15-$20. Don't forget the quick connect (if the tire attachment doesn't come with it). A great compressor kit, use it all the time.

Realistically, this compressor is inadequate for the job. The volume it produces is far too small to do a tire in a reasonable amount of time. ARB offers a tire inflation kit (part #171302) that can be fitted to any of the larger compressors such as the CKMA12. However, even that model is slow. Expect a 30 minute fill time for a tire.

Yes, you can use an air compressor, but don't exceed the maximum suggested psi.

It doesn't come with that attachment and I'm not sure if you would achieve the psi a tire would need. This is mostly a low pressure, high volume kind of foot pump.

The compressor works just like one at a gas station. Whatever fitting that comes with the air mattress should work fine. Be careful not to over inflate.

Technically, yes. But you would need an adapter or proper attachment. The problem is that this unit is better suited for low volume and high pressure things like tires. Air mattresses need high volume and low pressure.

No.The small tank will not give you enough air.This compressor is only good for inflating tires.

This little compressor really isn't made for anything that needs a lot of air due to its small tank. I have a hard time using it to top off the tires on my car. It will produce 90 lbs. but you will get frustrated waiting for tank to replenish with air. So long story short, don't expect this thing to fill your trailer tires up in a hurry.

No. The average air pump that fills car tires can only handle about 150 psi This needs 1500 to 3000 psi of pressure.

Personally I did not think much of this item and I eventually returned it. I was only using for maintaining the air pressure for my car and bikes. The compressor would run out of air much faster than blow up a single tire, so this did not work for me. Possibly if you have a different use in mind it will work for you.

No this compressor is to small , mine would not operate an air drill..............

Absolutely. That is the reason I bought this compressor, for my MH tires. I have a another compressor with a larger tank but it tops off at 100 lbs. The PC compressor works great for topping off tires but not so good for air tools. Tank is just too small and the compressor cycles too much. Plus this compressor is small enough to toss in your basement storage compartment to carry with you

Yes, it has been a good compressor for me. I use it for pneumatic nailers, it has a 2 gallon tank which would be excellent for bike tires, it may run a little but ive fill my car tires with it.

I would think not -- it doesn't provide a lot of air volume, just slow pressure of the type that can inflate tires or other inflatables.

The tool is a vacuum pump, not an air compressor. You need AC gauge lines to use the pump correctly.

My son in law bought the air compressor. I asked him about that and he said you can if you have the tools that use on the air compressor.
