One reasonable option is to use a CO2 tank and regulator setup such as this oen. CO2 will tend to leach through tires a little bit faster than air does, but we're talking over the course of perhaps weeks rather than minutes or hours.
Another option might be to get a good quality bicycle pump and perhaps hire or conscript an energetic teenager. It's not fast, though probably no slower than a typical 12V inflator.
The 20oz system in the link is intended for nail guns, etc.
Worthless for tires.
Compare systems here -
Power Tank C02 SystemsCO2 systems are great, can easily be DIY, at about half the cost of an "off-the-shelf" system.
Google: "Build your own C02 Tank System - Highest Quality Lowest Cost." Variations & updates can be found on lots of off-roader sites.
NEW aluminum C02 bottles are available from keg beer sites, and easily re-filled at any home beer shop, paint-ball stores, welding supply, etc.
Check the expansion ratio - lasts a long time. No wait, no external power req'd, no noise, and - all the psi you could ever want.
I have a 5lb set-up in my truck & a a 10lb in the trlr.
#2. The bike pump & energetic teenager (or conscript)-
