My question is could it be used for a car tire, that is already mostly inflated, i mean 4 a small car, that is.

I haven't tried to inflate a car tire. It works great for bikes and footballs, but not so sure about cars.

I didn't try it with a car tire, but I am afraid it's not so strong. Thanks.

any pump rated for car tire pressure will do the job. most bicycle pumps easily make enough pressure.the problem is the bike pump pushes a small volume of air per stroke, so filling a car tire will take a long time. it's more a battle of will than a mechanical issue.

Yes. This is the only tire pump I have for all my vehicles, and it works fine for such purposes. As a kid growing up, we would use bicycle pumps such as these to pump up tires when we had flats and we were on the road, and our spare needed air. A bicycle pump will pump up any tire, regardless of size, as long as the valve stems on the tires are the same as the valve stems of the bicycle pump. Since bicycle tires, car tires, and even semi-truck tires all have the same valve stems, you may use a bicycle pump to pump up any of them. Just make sure the intended PSI of the tire you are pumping up is not greater than the PSI rating of the pump you are using. In this case, the bicycle pump is rated at 70 PSI, more than enough for the average car tire (somewhere around 35ish PSI is average for a car, although it varies from tire to tire). Note when pumping up a car tire, pump it up to the PSI recommended on the specifications sticker located on the driver's side door panel, NOT the max psi listed on the tire. Inflating a tire to its maximum rating will cause it to wear out super fast, and will not handle ideally.

I've used this pump extensively for inflating our cars' tires. After using this pump about 10 times for this purpose, it became impossible to get a good seal between the pump and the car tire's air valve (stem?). The pump is still usable, but I fear it won't be long until this pump allows more air out of the tires than it can put in.

Tried to use a Bell pump with the plastic lock for the valve stem, and had a very hard time getting it to depress the valve core, then never could get it to work on another. So I bought another brand similar to that one, and the hose blew off from the base and threw out all the parts of the check valve. The only one I would buy now is one of all metal construction.

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

We used one of these for a heavy duty trailer, cant remember the tire size now but it was big. Worked fine but... its not the strongest material and I am waiting for it to give. My vehicles do spend a lot of time in serious off road conditions, that is why I worry. If this is for normal use, you will be fine.

I suppose you could. I use it only for inflating soccer and basketballs. We have a separate bike tire pump.

the instruction manual I have states that unit can be used for car tires. If the unit has standard valve attachment, it works fine on car tires, no attachment needed, I have used mine several times with no problems.

This is not a compressor. It will not produce enough pressure to inflate tires. Short answer... No.

Sure if you attach to your car battery with installed alligator clips. Very fast for inflating and deflating and multiple attachment points for output, so depending on your particular air mattress valve, you should be good.

Air always escapes through the walls of anything plastic -- like balloons, for example. That's science. Auto tires, too, which is why you have to add air periodically, and tires are a lot thicker than the walls of this pillow. So if you get four uses out of it before adding air, I'd say that's pretty good. If it doesn't hold air for one use, then you'd have an issue to complain about.

Haven't had to but don't see why you couldn't since it will inflate a car tire
147962
Yes it can. I use it all the time to inflate basketballs, etc. Works great.
1727828
yes, you can use it for bikes or car tires. I use it for me car. It's loud, but it works.
1257307
Yes. It's probably at the edge of its capability to inflate it from flat, but I'm pretty sure it could do it. It will have no problem adding air to an already inflated tire and reaching 100PSI, even taking it from 50 PSI to full. The Viair 450P is rated for continuous duty, but puts out about half as much air, so it would be better suited to running for a long period of time, but would take about twice as long to top off a tire.

yes with gauge, should not be used to inflate completely flat tire. will overheat
1278716
Yes, absolutely. Just be mindful that it must be connected directly to a battery so you will be standing next to a vehicle with your mattress until it inflates. The good news is, it will be inflated really fast. Much faster than the ones with 4 D cell batteries.

A small electric air pump that you would use to inflate your car tires. You can buy it on Amazon, or most stores Walmart, Home Depot, Ace Hardware, automotive stores.... Etc. they are very common. I do not remember the exact amount but I think they are around 25 bucks

when it is inflated it fits into a sedan style car. If you had blocks for it to sit on in the back it should probably work. It works great for us

This is a sufficient compressor to inflate auto tires, but you will need to have a tire inflator for it.
