    And the advantage of a CO2 bottle is...? More air fits in the same size container maybe?

    A 10lb CO2 bottle will 10-12 sets of 33" tires from 15lbs to 40lbs. I have a 10lb, and a 20lb bottle.
    It is self contained, you can run impact tools on it as well. I don't think you can fill your air tank at home with a normal cheap compressor. In order to get enough volume to mean anything other than a single tire fill up, you are going to have to go to a SCUBA tank. Plus, not sure how many little home compressors can go tto 200psi. My big 30 gal Craftsman gets rough when I get in to 160s...a 200PSI compressor=$$$.

    I do have a question, what offroading do you do? Pics or it never happened

    Sorry, couldn't help it, lots of fancy gear, only offroad I have seen from you is at the beach...and that doesn't count. Come to the spring Uwharrie meet!!!

    Oh, the hose and gun can be had at Harbor Freight for less than 30 bucks. The gun is like 12 bucks. I have 3 of em in my house, one fore each truck and one for the garage. You don't have to buy the expensive Viair stuff, especially if you only wheel 3-4 times a year.
