Stopped by Harbor Freight today and picked up one of these:
12 Volt, 100 PSI High Volume Air Compressor
I found it interesting that while the door label states a pressure of 36 PSI the factory installed tires have a maximum pressure rating (cold) of 44 PSI. Since we could technically put whatever tires on the vehicle we wanted to, I thought about the pressure situation and decided the tires probably know best on how many PSI they can handle, so I filled them up!
The efficiency difference between 36 PSI and 44 PSI should be very, very small, however using the portable 12 volt air compressor makes it really easy for me to now check my air pressure during my lunch break once a week.
