Air into tires while away

Does anyone have a good idea as to how to put air into tires that requires 110 psi and the tire is at 70 psi and you are in a location you are not familiar with worried now that I might damage the tires driving around looking for a garage with air supply for such big tires. Wish I could purchase a piece of equipment that doesn't take 28 hours just to get the tire to 90 psi which also requires electricity. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.
  • 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 Viair 12 volt pump is quite popular. The Viair auto 350 will air tires up to 150 psi in very short order.
  • Get yourself a 12v good tire inflator that goes up that high. I use the Truck Air model, it might take a bit but its better then driving all around town.
