Air compressor for 115 psi

I am looking for a smaller air compressor capable of producing 115 psi. Stage 2 compressors are too big to haul around. Any ideas?
  • Hi,

    My single tank can "do" 115 psi--but even at 85 psi in the tires it simply doesnt work well. I'd love to have a 150 psi compressor--but it has to be small. I don't care about voltage. I do care about price.
  • For that kind of pressure I'd be looking at compressed air/co2/n2 tanks. Like fj says, to actually inflate a tire to 115 you'll need a lot more pressure, and more volume. Otherwise you'll be there all day.
  • I use a small Porter-Cable also, but not the round one. I found it too bulky to store easily.

    FWIW if you want a small compressor to use up to 115 psi, get one that will go to at least 135 psi. If you get one that goes to 115 psi, you'll play heck getting tires topped up to 110 psi.
