Stupid question about filling tires
We are two women who just bought our first (used) motorhome. And the first problem I encounter is that I can't find anyplace near me to fill my tires with air! How do you find a place??? I'm in South...

An answer to your question about CFM
CFM stands for Cubic Feet per Minute. So what that is talking about is air flow (not pressure) The more air it can flow, the faster it will fill the tires. What you will find is that as the pressure gets higher and higher, the air flow rate (CFM) rate goes down. The implication of this is that less CFM means it takes longer to fill your tires. The 2 ratings you gave in your post are impossible to compare, as the ratings are given at 2 different pressures.
SO you need to buy a compressor capable of pumping to 110 PSI. That is a minimum requirement. The CFM will tell you how fast it will fill them.
