150 PSI portable air compressors

I know this topic has been talked about in the past but I can't find anything in the "search".

I have a 2004 DSDP with 275/75/22.5 tires. I want to put in 115 lbs into these front tires. I have been looking at a Porter Cable 6 Gal
150 PSI pancake compressor. Has anyone used this compressor or can tell me if it would push 115 lbs +.

Can anyone help me or have any recommendations from what they have used and bought that would actually work? My MH compressor cuts out at
125 PSI and is a real struggle to get anything above 110 lbs.

Any suggestions what to buy keeping in mind a retailer where we could return it if there was a problem.

Thanks again.

Toban

    That Crafstman unit is a smaller version of what I use. I do not think they make the one I use any more though. Nice compressor.

    Here is a 150PSI unit from Sears which will pump up my 315x22.5 tires to 130 PSI quite easily

    This has always been a popular choice when this question comes up. I believe it would fit your needs. It frequently goes on sale for a better price, too.

    Edit: link repaired (I hope).

    Viair. 12 volt. Do the research. Best buy for the buck. 8 years and still strong.

    I bought this one Porter Cable and it works great for my G-rated trailer tires that need 110psi. It will go higher and gets there pretty quickly. It's also not as noisy as some of them are. So far it has been a very good unit.

    I bought mine through Amazon. Sears also sells them for about $50 more.
