I have the ViAir 300P. I'm very happy with it.

Superflow mv90. Works awesome. Used it for years on 33/35/37s

How does the Superflow compare to the ViAir?

No idea. Bought in 2015 and have been using it ever since. I know the viair are similar to the arb setups. The superflow out performed buddy’s rigs with the 1k arb setups. I could do 4 35’s faster than they could do 2.

I've had several of the recommended small 60-to-80-dollar ones fail on me in the past and I didn't want to get stuck with 20psi tires on highway again. I decided to go with the Ford ARB compressor and it's awesome. It's not cheap though but I definitely recommend it.

Great choice! I am doing the same.

Not trying to one-up anyone, but this is what we use:

Inflates tires in <5 seconds.

Has anyone bought the Ford one? I know people will say overpriced, but other than that, any feedback on it?

I have it and I took it out the box and mounted it in the engine bay

Yes, I read that post of yours and you have done a lot of things that are quite technical and for someone like me, quite difficult.

I was wondering if this is a good quality/capable air compressor for refilling to proper psi after playing in some sand. Likewise, I wondered if it fit under backseat or somewhere else inside.

I do admire your modifications and know-how!

Thank you, it is a very capable compressor I don't regret buying it. I had it mounted under the driver's seat before I moved it to its current location.

I have a few of these. One in each vehicle. Dewalt

If you’re looking for something small that easily fits in the vehicle and doesn’t take up much space look at the Viair 88P. It’s cheap, well made, and handles our size tires quickly and efficiently. The bag it comes in kinda sucks. I bought an ammo can and it fits in there perfectly and I can put it away hot and not melt anything.

That's the one we have.

As you said, it's well made; puts out a decent amount of air; and is relatively inexpensive.

From what I've read, Viair is a favorite among off-roaders. They usually purchase a more expensive model, but for most people the 88P is plenty. We have a small RV that has 215/85R16 tires and it inflates those quickly.

Here’s some pictures for reference on size if anyone is looking for a small solution other than a battery operated handheld. Ammo can from Harbor Freight is like $10. I don’t use the bag because it’s a tight fit and too much hassle.

Viair 400P for me. Also have a 30' extension hose to go with it. It's mostly for using with my 30' 5th-wheel. Cheers!

I bought a Dewalt 20V inflator on an impulse a couple years ago, and it is the most used cordless tool in my garage. Not only does it fill tires but it has a separate blower to inflate all the kids' floaty toys at the lake. It's reasonably fast to fill aired-down tires, but the best part is you just set the pressure and do something else for a couple minutes until it stops. With a 3Ah battery it will fill 4 tires several times over.
