4x4 Air Compressors

How long does it take to inflate a tyre using a portable air compressor?

For the Tuff Terrain V4 High Output Air Compressor, which outputs over 400L per minute, you can inflate a standard 4x4 tyre (like a 35" tyre) from 10 PSI to 40 PSI in approximately 2 minutes and 15 seconds. This powerful compressor is designed to provide rapid inflation, making it an excellent choice for off-road enthusiasts who need quick and reliable performance.

The time it takes to inflate a tyre can vary depending on the air compressor you use. Different models have different capacities and outputs, affecting inflation speed. Always check the specifications of your air compressor to get an accurate estimate of inflation time. For example, a compressor with a lower output will take longer to inflate a tyre compared to a high-output model like the Tuff Terrain V4.
