Is this enough to blow my 110 psi tires up (quickly) ?
I have looked at the forums, but have not seen any recommended compressors for 110 psi and above. thanks for any advice & recomendations

Get the compressor with the higher CFM rating and a larger tank say at least 10 gallons. I do my "E" rated tires on the Excursion and trailer with a Craftsman 25 gallon 135 psi (I don`t remember the cfm, but it is lower than I would like) and it is just enough. your either going to want a much larger air tank or something with a higher cfm!

Compare horsepower if possible. You can get high pressure with very little power but it will be very slow. A half HP is decent. And make sure you can lift/carry it, unless you plan to leave it in one place.

the CFM rating normally applies to compressors that are powering tools. However it would effect fill time on large tires somewhat.

The Cfm is cubic feet per minute it is based on the size of the cylinder . Your psi is determined by the pressure switch Which some models you can pop the cap and crank up a bit, but the tank itself is the big factor in the PSI of the compressor, as they are designed to hold only so many PSI safely.

Good Morning

I would look at a 150 psi compressor or even a 135 psi. Those last 10-15 pounds will be pretty slow with only 15 lbs. difference between tire psi and compressor psi. Can be done though.
