Warn onboard air setup?

Tried to search but found nothing, so I figure I will ask...

Has anyone had one of these? I am opting for the cheap one and doubt it will have the power to fill up my 36's

I have no need for air lockers, just for filling up tires really.

It'd prolly take forever to fill up 36's. Do a search on here for CO2 onboard air, basically taking an old welding gas tank for between $50-$100 and filling it up. Then getting pressure regulator and the air hose and it lasts quite a while.

I had a friend tell me just yesterday he was looking at that one. 1CFM at 90psi will take awhile to fill up a tire. Probably 3mins for a 33. So I'd guess maybe 20-25mins to fill up 4 36s. Like I said, just a guess.

You'd be better off getting a cig lighter one probably. More than likely the same specs. A tank would probably help though. Granted the compressor wouldn't be able to keep up. But it might keep you from leaning over the tire for 5 mins.

Leaning toward the CO2 setup just because of how long it will last per tank, I didn't see this anywhere, my buddy thinks he could run air tools off my tank if I did this? I wouldn't be getting some rediculous tank, probably about 5 gallon.

yes you can run air tools off of co2. but the regulators will tend to freeze up if you use air tools for a while.

That was my thoughts, only experience I have with c02 is paintball and the shit was cold, so question being, I started running nitrogen/compressed air through all my guns, how well would that work as compared to Co2
