Back when I had access to free air, I used my spare tank for filling tires and everything else I use a compressor for now. Too spendy now, and dive shops will require a visual inspection yearly and a hydro test every five.
I noticed one of the items in the Amazon link above has no regulator and applies tank pressure straight to the tire valve. Really bad idea. If you're going to do it, use a first stage regulator and BCD hose.
Overall, I can't see this. Too dangerous, and too bulky. And if you plan on diving while traveling, why would you want to reduce your time underwater in favor of filling tires. Get a good compressor instead.
