Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to inflate a typical car tire?
Most quality home inflators can add 10-15 PSI to a standard car tire in 2-5 minutes, depending on the motor power and tire size. Inflating a completely flat tire typically takes 5-10 minutes.
Can I use a tire inflator for other items besides car tires?
Yes, most tire inflators come with multiple attachments for bicycles, motorcycles, sports balls, air mattresses, and pool toys. Check that the pressure range matches your needs, as some items require much higher or lower pressures than car tires.
Do I need a separate pressure gauge?
While many inflators include built-in gauges, having a separate, high-quality tire pressure gauge is recommended for accurate readings. Built-in gauges can be less precise and may be harder to read in certain positions.
How do I know what pressure my tires need?
Check your vehicle's door jamb sticker, owner's manual, or tire sidewall for recommended PSI. The door jamb specification is typically the most accurate for your specific vehicle and load requirements.
