    Harbor freight compressor (the big one) costs around $65. Opt for the additional 2 year warranty (think around $7) and just go in and get a new one every 2 years. Doesn’t matter if it’s broken, they’ll still replace it no questions.

    The MV-50 has a zipper canvas bag, which I prefer over the hard case my Harbor Freight pump came with (takes up too much room).

    I just got a Viair 450P, wanted something with a 100% duty cycle in case I need to pump up multiple vehicles. It's awesome. Takes a 235/85 from 18 to 35 in a minute or two.

    Smittybuilt 2781 gets my vote. At 5.65 CFM it will be one of the fastest portable air compressors at filling your tires.

    Are you talking about this one? If not, would something like that work?

    I dunno diddly about air compressors, we just have one of those at home currently.

    Wow, old revised thread!

    I can confirm that the Superflow MV 90 (not 50) does indeed inflate a KO2 tire from 15 - 30 psi in under 100 seconds. I've had mine for several years and it works great. It does get hot as shit though after 4 tires so you can't just throw it back in the nylon bag. The yellow plastic hose will melt if pressed against the motor. I just throw it in the back of the truck and let it air cool as I drive.
