Does the air tank have connections for use of the air and not the horns? For example, if I wanted to fill up a tire on the side of the road or use an air rachet to change a tire?

Yes. There is a port on top that i put a valve and a hose with a tire gauge that i found cheap at Home Depot that i can fill up my tires. It works ok and does the job.

It is a screw on connector for tire inflation, which, I have to say, is very annoying. I've been wondering if I can add some type of adapter to make it a quick connect. (Not sure why someone answered that it has quick connect. I bought this through Amazon and it is definitely not quick connect. It does come with two adaptors for bike and tube inflations.)

The maker of the compressor should have included a plastic bag full of extra fittings. Most air hoses end with a male threaded fitting and then you have to put on a female coupler so you can quickly change tools on the compressor. The tire guage even has a male thread end that you have to put a female coupler on so you can stick it in the end of your compressor hose. If the compressor did not have these accessories included, you can pick up a 15 or 17 piece compressor accessorie kit at sears or maybe even wal-mart. If I can explain further, please contact me back to clarify.

There are threaded fittings on both ends of the inflator for the hoses. The unit comes with a quick-connect coupling but this can be removed. If your portable inflator hose has a 1/4" connection, I can't see why this unit wouldn't work just fine for you. As for the connection to the tire, there is a push-on/clip connection that has worked well for me though when brand new, you may have to apply some pressure to get a total seal. I sprayed some silicone lubricant in the inflator to improve the seal. BTW, the guauge goes to 180 PSI/12 bar, not 50 as the specs say.

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 it has air hose with conection for tires and extra attachments for rafts, balls, etc.

I believe mine was struggling with the air horns I had. Something with the amperage that each channel can handle. So I guess it depends on your air ride compressor unit what the draw is. The wires used with this unit are very small diameter.

NO , I have had mine for over a year and it has never needed air in the tires. It would be a very simple thing to do if it did need air. It is a great jogger ,We love ours.

I used my air compressor. Too bad they didn't come with tires that never go flat. I might switch mine with those. Harbor Freight if you have them near you has tires that never go flat and you don't have to inflate.

This is a great off road compressor but does not have AC plug nor does it accept air powered accessories. It excels at putting air into tires quickly.

.....an additional comment to my last one: The comment by Roy H. is incorrect. Contrary to his statement, you cannot attach an air brush to this tank without first installing a regulator. Also, this tank isn't, "a very nice product for the money" as he states. If you look at my original review, you'll see that the tank comes with a 'too short' air hose and, worst of all, a cheap hose-end attachment that ruins Schrader valves. To make this tank usable, you need to replace the hose (with a longer one) and replace the cheap hose-end attachment with a good quality universal adapter that accepts a variety of tools e.g., filler valves, air tips etc. .....an additional comment to my last one: The comment by Roy H. is incorrect.

no.....this is more of a slow steady air source which works great for tires. For what you want I'd look at something like this... The Source S-KIT10 High Performace Portable Air System

MY answer was assuming you wanted to actually fill your tires with air! Otherwise why would you be looking to buy a compressor to just ck the tire pressure? .. if thats the case , just by a simple tie pressure gauge!

Not on the one I received. It has a needle used for air-filled balls, but not the standard bike adaptor (see here http://bit.ly/13xsIeB). Also, I don't think that this pump is designed to deliver the high pressure that bike tires require. Hope this helps.

You should not need an auxiliary tank with this compressor. It has a fitting on the compressor to plug a hose in so you can air up tires, run air tools, etc. This compressor is 100% duty cycle so it is designed to run continuously until it meets it's demand. This should be all you will need to hook everything up. If you decide to go into a tank, you may need a hose made up to go from the compressor to the auxiliary tank. Hope this helps, good luck with your build.

Yes it connects using a quick connect fitting. All of us in our 4wheeler group uses Vair. I took the screw on connector for the valve stem and installed a a regular push type with a clamp from Harbor Freight $2.oo, easier connect, safer for valve stem. This compressor fills the fastest. The next model up fills slower but is continuous duty. I picked this one for output volume. Works great.

Hi, the compressor and tank combo is prewired, all it needs is power and ground. The power should be run through as relay, that is connected to the ignition, this will allow the pump to run only when the key is in the on position. The horn itself has an electric solenoid. This kit will include a small button that can be used to activate the horn, or if you prefer you can wire it to the factory horn.
