Using the OEM electric tyre pump.

philtrick123 · 09-17-2012, 12:55 PM

Just wondered if the supplied car tyre inflator is any good. When I've used these types of pumps before, they seem to take an age to inflate a tyre. Glad I can use it without inject the repair sealany into the tyre.
Is the pressure gauge accurate?

Not really answering your question but I wouldn't rely on the pressure gauge on the inflator. I use something like this from Halfords. Reasonably quick but noisy.

And always double check pressure with this (which is excellent)
