For those that are interested I ended up with an Aldi's air compressor. I had a go today at inflating one of my 35's.
I let it down to 14 psi, where i would normally run them at when out playing. I timed the compressor to see how long it would take it to pump the 35 up from 14 psi to 30 psi. Then 14 psi to 40 psi.
I was surprised to see it done it in 2 min 20 seconds (14 psi-30 psi) . It actually went to 31 psi, as the only fault with the comp is the pressure gauge as it gives a false reading. I test the pressure with my ARB gauge to get a correct reading. 14 psi-40 psi took 3 mins.
I had a look through the latest 4wd action mag where they tested a heap of different compressors from $99 up to a $1000+.
The tigerz11 is the identical compressor except its silver not red. It took 2 min 48 sec to pump a 33" tyre from 16 psi to 40 psi.
So not a bad buy considering the Aldi's price is $99 & the identical tigerz11 compressor is $229.
How long it lasts only time will tell.
