Compact Digital Tyre Compressor
Hi,
Looking for a bit of help please....
Any recommendations for a decent quality compact digital tyre compressor (either cigarette lighter or rechargeable) that is accurate / reliable and small enough to be squirrelled away somewhere in the E89?
Many thanks
John

I bought a top of the range Michelin one. Packed up in 3 weeks. Needless to say I had binned the receipt.

I am using a Ring tyre compressor. It's brilliant! See this thread:

When i used my Halfords compressor it would blow ciggie fuse. So i fitted 12volt socket in boot.
At work for remote use i charge up old motorcycle battery to power the pump.

Thanks gents - much appreciated. Shall probably go for the Ring option to save the risk of something discharging in the boot through lack of use.
Cheers

You can buy a very good 'Slime tyre repair kit' with a compressor included. Comes in a nice little pouch.

. Thankfully never had to use the tyre repair side of the kit but it has good write ups.
