Some of Amazon’s best-selling tire inflators are on sale right now! If you don’t already have a tire pump in your garage (or better yet, your trunk) then you might want to consider it. These days, most of them are super affordable and make getting air in your tires a breeze. After all, driving with under-inflated tires can be dangerous and expensive. Based on TireRack.com, “If a car tire is under-inflated by just 6 psi … tread life can be reduced by up to 25%.” That’s a lot of time wasted tire! Luckily, thanks to discounts like the one below, you can get one portable air compressor at bargain prices.
This AstroAI portable air compressor comes with three nozzles and will work with any Schrader valve on cars, SUVs, motorcycles and bicycles. It can inflate tires at a rate of 35 L/min and can inflate a 195/55/R15 tire from 0 to 35 psi in less than 5 minutes. The gauge is calibrated to display readings within 1.5% of your actual tire pressure and is even programmable, so you simply set the desired pressure and let the machine do the work. It has a large, backlit display that displays pressure units such as PSI, kPa, BAR or KG/CM. There’s also a built-in flashlight if you work in the dark. The included accessory adapters will also allow you to use this inflator on balls, air mattresses, balloons and other small inflatables.

It is powered by a 2,000 mAh rechargeable battery, which takes about 2-3 hours to fully charge but once fully charged, you will be able to use it continuously for 40 minutes. It also includes adapters for things like basketballs and bicycle tires, but keep in mind that this air compressor is not intended for large volume objects like air mattresses, etc.
