- You likely know the advantages of airing down your tires on the trail for improved traction and a more compliant ride. But how do you air up your tires when you get back to the pavement? This is a critical step, as driving at freeway speeds with underinflated tires can generate an enormous amount of heat in the tire carcass and even lead to tire failure. Fortunately, there are a bevy of on board air options that can allow you to safely and quickly refill your tires. So many options that you might get overwhelmed, but keep watching as we explain duty cycle, CFM, CO2 tanks, portable compressors, fixed mount compressors, and share some of our own tips and tricks with a variety of custom on board air compressor installations.

Good video 👍
Powertank F.T.M.F.W.!
Add the monster valves and cut the air up time by up to 70% vs the tank alone.
And Holy Cow! I can't believe how old that Power Tank gear is! I'd bet that Power Tank is old enough to buy itself a drink! You know you can trade it in for an upgrade any time. We have the best and longest warranties on the market.
You say to air up to manufacturer's spec. Is that the vehicle mfg or the tire mfg? If you increase tire size, you can run a lower pressure. If you increase vehicle weight by adding equipment and gear, you should run a higher pressure. Vehicle mfg tire pressure spec may be a safe number to start but every vehicle will be different. Hope we see a proper tire pressure video next because I know you're not running 50 psi in those 42s!
The CO2 is finite, yes, but it is not perishable, as you stated. The CO2 will stay in the tank indefinitely until it is used. Also, the flow rate stays high while you are airing up. This is because there is 800 psi bottle pressure keeping the CFM high, even when airing up high pressure (100 psi+) tires.
Thanks for setting me straight! Yeah, I’ve had this one for quite a while and it is still going strong.
I run 35” tires on my Jeep and use the moorflate fivesix which is the single cylinder version and it does a great job. I also have their four tire kit and an analog gauge. I use it to deflate and inflate. Very convenient!!
I use a CO2 tank mounted in the bed of my truck. I scored a couple of tanks, a regular and lines from an old fire extinguisher unit. Works great for my setup.
Thanks for sharing your knowledge! Nate is awesome. So glad he does all my work now through your recommendation.
The New @Morrflate 10.6 PSI pro has an unlimited duty cycle due to Tylers engineered upgrades over the original 10.6. I don't have one, however I use an ARB single with a dual tire inflator and go from 6-8 psi to 25 in about 10-12 min a side for Nitto 40's.
The website says, "66% duty cycle (20min on, 10min off) (4-5 vehicles)"
@@AllTerrainFamilyI listen to his podcast. Their testing proves otherwise. I'm sure that's just the manufactures recommendations .
@@tomcompoli Gotcha.
Thanks for teaching me how to fill up my tires with air. What’s up with the grit stache at 0:15? I will mail you a razor 🖕😑🖕
This subject has been beat to death. And recently on driving line as well. 😠
So you're saying, 'air we go again?!'
This comment is a little deflating.
Sorry about that Chris. You are right, Ali scooped me, I didn’t know that he was also making a compressor video this month.
