    Right. But two of the most popular sizes sold today for pick up’s and jeeps are either a 33x12.50r20 Bfg or a 33X13.50r20 Nitto are rated as 8 ply’s at 65psi max.

    How hard is it to have a 50ft air hose with a glad hand on one side and chuck on the other. That's what I use and it's still slow. The portable compressors will melt after running 15 minutes and would need hours to get 100psi.

    Two of my guys have the Milwaukee, the big one and it works really good. It just takes a little bit of time but while you're doing other things, all you have to do is set it and it will air up to whatever you want. We've even used it on tractor tires when we couldn't get close to them with the truck.

    They'll work but will be very time consuming.

    You need a dual piston unit to make it worth the while.

    A single piston will probably burn up trying to pump up a truck tire.

    Look for dual piston pumps. Those aren't cheap though.

    I wouldn't waste my time with what you all posted. Or I would have already bought one years ago.

    You want something like this double cylinder.

    D2FC07D3-8131-4226-B405-EA4407F7CD4D.png Why convenience? I like this idea. Mounted on back of cab. Could always carry an extra shorter hose to extend if needed.
