Back in my JEEP running days we was always bleeding down the tires for better traction.
I have been using the 12VDC tankless portable air compressor. It may not be the fastest one in the world but airs up my trailer and truck tires and all the kids bicycles at the camp grounds...
This is the Q Industries portable MV50 12VDC 150 PSI Air Compressor available from AMAZON. It fits in its nice carry bag under my truck back seat. I usually sit this on my truck tailgate and hook into the trailer batteries and then I can use the provided long air coil hose to walk around the trailer and tires...
I also use this air compressor along with the CAMCO 36153 Blow Out Adaptor to blow out my water lines for winterizing. Being TANKLESS it takes more time to build up air compressor which is ideal for blowing out water lines.
Perfect setup for me and my OFF-ROAD POPUP trailer.

I use this as well for my F350. From usually 35-55 air down to 65-80 air up. Takes 4 to 5 minutes per tire. The gauge is Inaccurate. I would not recommend it if you're going from 18 psi to 80 though. You're probably looking at 8-10minutes per tire, And it gets really hot. But it is cheap, Maybe buy two of them. It did get the best reviews out of the lower end air compressors.
I have had one of these units for a few years. Its been slowly dying and will not pump my tires up to 80 psi, the magic number for a lot of 25xx and 35xx tires when carrying a camper. I have used it to fill maybe 30 tires from about 70 psi up to 80 psi. I use it on the road, at home I have a full fledged 220v compressor.
Its better than most of the cheap air compressors out there but in the near future I will be going with the Viair 450, it seems like the best bang for the buck.
Good Luck!
