What’s a good air pump for Cybertruck Tires?

[arnav_8]

Hi Guys,
Any recommendations on a good air pump for the CT tires (recommended 50 psi) ?

I am noticing 46 when cold and 48 when driving which is probably within acceptable range. But would like to keep one in the car when it gets cold in New England.

Thanks
A

I picked up a https://www.lasfit.com/products/dua...vsbgxOrH4JN2H3oYzF_JzYxVVDO2CXvqfyAHPDq39Gs6C but also prefer to keep some tire plug/repair options in the rig too. Initial test I did it ran great and battery was able to get all 4 tires done. Tip: Scan around for a PROMO code for that might save 5-20%.

My prior compressor was tad smaller and this one is faster. I just think the 12V cig plug (which we lack) puts it in a spot where you’d have to run AC and a higher powered AC to 12VDC adaptor to back it up if your 4x4’n and airing down tires.

There's already a couple of threads with in-depth recommendations.

Small battery ones may be too anemic for that big of tires.
AC ones are indeed options.

I picked up this AC compressor from home Depot and keep it in the smuggler's bin with an extension cord. I only used it for topping up so far but it worked great and let's you choose a pressure to go to then it shuts off at that pressure.

I went with the Wolfbox MegaFlow since I already have some of their other products on my Bronco and it seems like it'll be perfect for what you're looking for. I wrote a review for it as well if you want to check it out:

Looks like they're also active on the forums now as an official sponsor (under @3Wliners Carmats)

Thanks guys! Yes I also found the other threads too.

So you all feel that even for emergency/ocational top off usage, the 12V ones with CLighter is too underpowered? I am trying to be as compact as possible but if it is going to be frustrating, I’d go with a proper air compressor.

thanks again!

The Wolfbox inflated my tires on just battery power without any issues. There are no 12v plugs in the CT (which I didn't realize until after I bought it) but if you're just looking to top off your tires when it's cold, then it'll be able to easily take care of that on just the battery and still have plenty of juice leftover

Looks like WheresMyCybertruck likes the wolfbox one.
thanks!

Ya, I realized there was no 12V thing the second day when I tried to stick in an old radar detector. :-(
The 120v to 12v on Amazon is good. But you have to keep the 120v plug in all the time.

 

[chaosmarine92]

Since there isn't a Clighter on the truck you'd need to use a 120v to 12v converter anyway so why do that when you can just use something that runs on 120v? As for battery compressors I just wouldn't trust them to sit for a couple years before I need them.

Since I have all sorts of Dewalt tools, I'm partial to their small pump. It runs off battery or 12V. Just dial in the pressure you want and hit go. It shuts off when the proper pressure is reached.

How long is the cord? Will it reach all 4 tires or is an extension cord required?

The built in cord is only like 3 ft or something. You definitely need an extension cord.

I bought the m18 tire inflator heard really good things. used it and works perfectly and stowes away in storage in bed without battery attached. got the quick connect too. will be great for anything I need to inflate tbh.

this bad boy was the best by size, performance, and compatibility reported so far by off-roading members.
