Tire compressor

I need 75 psi to inflate my rv tires. I have tried two from auto zone and neither would pump that high. Any recommendations would be welcome. Would like one to plug into the cig. lighter.

Thanks

  • I have a regular 120 volt that I run off my gen with 50 foot hose. As Donn said about 12 volts. I have a 12v viair for a bike tire or something but dont want to run it's guts out by doing 33 inch tires to 80 psi. 120 v is fast.
  • 150PSI pancake compressor from Lowes or Home Depot is your best choice. The decent 12 volt compressors worth a darn will cost you as much as a real decent 120 volt compressor and take 5 times as long to air up a tire.
