Looking for recommendations on tire inflators to keep in on hand in our car. We have an Odyssey and Camry and I think the max PSI for our tires is 51 and 44, respectively.

I've tried two Slime inflators but they don't seem to get the job done in a timely manner. TIA

Why are you concerned with the max PSI?

You shouldn't be running your tires at that pressure, go by the pressure indicated on the tag inside the driver's door.

Didn't know if that determined what type of inflator to purchase. I usually keep my tires lower than the max PSI, roughly 5 PSI lower than the max so 45 on the Odyssey and 39 on the Camry.

I bought this for $20 on Amazon. It seems to work ok.

You want this one. It will do cars, trucks, and SUVs with ease. I've even aired up an F350 with it.

Been using an older model of this one for years now

Never had to use it on the road but use it all the time out in the garage rather than having to air up at gas stations

Most recommended PSI will be in the mid 30's.

You want the recommended PSI, not the max the tire is rated for....unless you are loading to the max load rating on the tire.

Why run the pressure so high?
