Your tyres are the most important safety feature of your car. Because they are the only part of your vehicle that makes contact with the road, it's very crucial that they are always in optimum condition. This is why you should consider having an air compressor in your car. So in case you've noticed that one of your tyres seems to be a bit deflated, you can easily whip the compressor out and inflate the tyre that need to be inflated.
Buying an Air Compressor for Your Car
Air compressors come in different sizes, but the one you need is the portable one as it fits better in your vehicle. To help you obtain the best one, here's what you should consider when shopping for a compressor.
1. CFM
CFM stands for cubic feet per minute and it indicates the volume of the air that can be moved by the compressor. You can inflate your car's tyres with an air compressor of any size, but you have to make sure that the compressor is powerful enough so you won't take hours to completely inflate a tyre. To ensure speedy inflation, experts recommend air compressors that produce at least 1 to 2 CFM. Those with less than 1 CFM can be good only for emergency inflation.
2. Size
When we say size, we're not talking about the capacity of the portable air compressor. We're talking about its actual physical size. For maximum convenience, choose one that you can easily fit in your car. As you may know, standard compressors (the ones you often see at construction sites) are big and bulky. It can be difficult to transport an air compressor if you happen to buy one close to the size of typical air compressors.
3. High pressure hose
Every part of the air compressor can affect the results it can produce. Therefore, make sure that the one you'll buy comes with a high quality hose that can withstand high air pressure. Ideally, the hose should be 3/8 inch in diameter and at least 25ft in length. Also, it should have passed safety and performance tests.
4. Gauge
Over-inflating your tyres can cause a lot of problems. This is why it's important that you know when you need to stop pumping air into them. That being said, you must choose an air compressor that comes with a gauge so you'll know exactly when you have achieved optimum pressure.
