My geriatric tyre inflator, which plugs into the cigarette lighter socket is on its last legs. Anyone care to comment on which one they use. Most seem to go up to 50 PSI but I need to go to 64 PSI for the van tyres.

TYRE INFLATORS
- Thread starter HenryS

I only have to pump my tyres to 50 but I know the pump I have go's much higher than that, it came with a Mercedes Vito so I would expect any dealer that sells vans, and I mean vans not caravans, would sell a pump capable of pressures higher than 50 as van tyres are often going to be higher so no point giving you a pump not up to the job.
Henry, have one of these, inflates to 65psi no problems as long as car is running.

I too have the Ring RAC600 and confirm what the previous post says. Excellent bit of kit that's been an Auto Express favourite for some time now.
I simply use a Joe Blow Sport cycle track pump. Its designed to get to 160 psi and I find keeping my caravan tyres at 65 psi is easy.
The built on gauge on mine is accurate enough.

Good for the bikes and car too.

I recently bought a Ring tyre inflater that runs on mains electricity, through Amazon. Cost around £40, but is very quick. You need an extension cable, but is much better than 12 Volt, in my opinion.
i use a ring type as i need to get to 65psi it just dose it tryed others that did not got it from mapplins in sale £16 but some time ago.

Searching at the moment, but also with the size of tyre on the new beast in mind as well. Currently deciding between ring 640 as swimbo wants a handle!! or the sealy heavy duty MAC2300. Our current thinking is that the latter one may be better for the vehicle we want to use it with???? Funny really spending 30 or 40 pounds can take weeks but we can order a new car or caravan at the drop of a hat!!!!! Cheapest I've found by the way for the sealy is from PVR direct.
hi. I just use a cheapo from ALDI cost £5 inflates to 150psi in about 2days but will pump up the car tyre from flat in about 10mins being accurate isn't that important as all the tyres are checked at the garage once a week anyway

Glad you like that one. I like the fact that it's an awful lot quieter than most.
Only problem I've found (if you can call it a problem), it works so fast you have to rush back to the compressor to turn it off before it goes way past the pressure you want

Would it not be nice if the main clubs put a compressor in a handy spot on site. A good place would be near to the motorhome discharge point
Have just ordered the ring 900 seems the best bet for ease of reaching all round the van and also the tyres for the new towcar do look quite large!!!!!! Getting from our local independent as they've managed to undercut any that I found on line!!!!
As a experiment & because the van is now on axle stands I let one of the tyres completly down.
No air left in at all, fastened the ring 900 on to the valve turned the compressor on.
4mins 50 secs 60psi job done, it just played with it with ease.
Oh by the way the tyre's are 195 / 70 / 15, I don't think i would have even tried it with the old one.............
Full of air............

I've been using one of these for two years and am very happy.
