Frequently asked questions
How long does the 12V tyre inflator take to pump up a car tyre?
The 12V tyre inflator took 5 min 45 s to bring a 175/65 R15 tyre to 2.5 bar in the maker's test, and 9 min 30 s for a 235/55 R17; a flat starts from lower, so it takes longer.
Does the 12V tyre inflator need a battery?
No. The 12V tyre inflator has no battery: it runs from the car's 12 V socket on its power cord, so it never needs charging but only works next to the car.
Can the 12V tyre inflator pump bike tyres and balls?
Yes. The 12V tyre inflator has car, motorcycle, bike and ball modes with preset pressures, and comes with a hose, a bike adapter and a ball needle.
Does the 12V tyre inflator stop by itself?
Yes. Set the target pressure on the 12V tyre inflator's display and it stops automatically when the tyre reaches it.
