I am going to get a compressor to bring to the track. Thinking of this one. Anyone have one (this or something else)? My limitation is that I need to power it from a Honda EU2000i. It would also be nice if it was quiet but I can live with noise as it won't be on all the time. I have space in the trailer but don't want to bring my full size even if the generator will start it...

OK ready set

It should be fine. I had a gas compressor but the motor smoked a little, well alot. So after I upgraded my house compressor i threw the old one in the trailer and it works fine. My gen will fire it up just fine, even with the warmers.

A couple of the reviews on there don't sound too promising in the long term reliability department. What is the warranty on it?

Have you looked into viair compressors? 100% duty cycle, run off 12v and are designed to be hard mounted into a vehicle.

VIAIR - 12 volt and 24 volt Air Compressors

There are actually a couple companies producing these now. I think Warn has just released a line of compressors too.

As I look into finally selling the Jeep and buying a truck and enclosed trailer I plan on getting a hard mounted/wired setup using one of these.

To late I got the 3Gal and we will see. I got it for $89 on sale and Craftsman Club. Those others are interesting Seamus but I need it next weekend maybe. I might be swapping tires after Saturday unless it rains (then I will swap the Pirellis on) Tomorrow I will test it on the generator

Can't beat the price you got though.

Hooked it up this morning and the generator runs it nicely. Pumps up fairly fast and is not real bad on noise. Overall I think I will like it.

But will it pop a bead on a 190/70 with a stiff sidewall?

3 gal and 125 PSI so I hope so. Though I have a Bridgestone 190/640/17 rear ready for changing Saturday night (unless it rains ). So not sure on a Dunlop but I will find out on the Bridgestone

I have needed 200+ PSI (with a boatload of tank behind it) to seat several tires, especially if the weather is muggy. I would definitely invest in a squeezer band.

Do they actually make tire specific bands? I've used a ratchet strap many times before (trailside bead reseating). Never even thought there would be a one specifically for tires.

spray a little bit of glass cleaner on the bead and it will set. Plus it will not get the tread slick
