What do you think about these ones here? Any feedback would be great!
or does anyone else have another 1 thats better for around the same price range?

what size tires do you have ?

would be better especially after a few mods.

they make a bigger version of the Cyclone 150psi Air Compressor which would be better for blowing up tires, called STORM STM072 72lpm.

both the ones your looking at are just to darn small for blowing up tires, even for small 4x4 tires. 30-40lpm is only good for car tires or running lockers.
