Keeping your tires filled with air is an important piece of car maintenance that many drivers don't take seriously enough. If you weren't aware, "You can improve your gas mileage by 0.6% on average — up to 3% in some cases — by keeping your tires inflated to the proper pressure," according to fueleconomy.gov and "if a vehicle's tires are under-inflated by only 6 psi ... the tire's tread life could be reduced by as much as 25%," according to Tire Rack.
Luckily, it's easy and affordable to keep your tires inflated! There are tons of great options out there, but it's often easier and feels more comfortable to make purchase decisions with the help of public opinion, so with that in mind, here are the 5 best-selling tire inflators on Amazon right now.
1) AstroAI Tire Inflator Portable Air Compressor - $31.99
Key features
Inflates at a rate of 35L/Min
Programmable for automatic fill-ups
Integrated LED light for better night-time visibility
Comes with one replacement fuse and 3 additional nozzles
This AstroAI portable air compressor comes with three nozzles and will work with any Schrader valve on cars, SUVs, motorcycles, and bicycles. It can pump up tires at a speed of 35 L/Min and can inflate 195/55/R15 tires from 0 to 35 psi in under 5 minutes. The gauge is professionally calibrated to show a reading within 1.5% of your actual tire pressure and is even programmable, so you can just set your desired pressure and let the machine do the work. It's got a large, backlit screen that displays pressure units like PSI, kPa, BAR or KG/CM. There's also a built-in flashlight for if you're working in the dark. The included accessory adapters will also allow you to also use this inflator on balls, air mattresses, balloons, and other small inflatables.
2) Airmoto Tire Inflator Portable Air Compressor - $67.99 (10% off + $12 off digital coupon)
Key features
Cordless and rechargeable
Inflates up to 120 PSI
Can change between PSI, kPa, BAR and KG/CM pressure units
Includes air hose and 3 attachments for cars, motorcycles, bicycles, sports equipment and more
Also includes USB-C charging cable and carrying case
Not intended for "large volume uses like air mattresses, paddle boards or heavy load tires"
The Airmoto air compressor is a little pricier than the other entries on our list, but it comes with two huge benefits: It's cordless and it's tiny. So small, in fact, that it can easily fit in your glove compartment. Like most others, this option has automatic shut-off, an LCD screen and comes with multiple attachment valves and a carrying case. It also runs on a rechargeable battery (and even includes the USB-C cable to do it). If you're looking for something a little more sleek, this is the tire inflator you should check out.
