Compact Digital Tyre Compressor

[JHW666]

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.

I bought one of these, actually works ok as I have used it once when I had a TPWS alarm - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/224214616619

I use a Ring compressor too.. fits nicely by the battery with the tyre weld in the little boit storage box

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.

I have used these for years and the compressor is excellent
. Thankfully never had to use the tyre repair side of the kit but it has good write ups.

I bought this as it fits nicely in the storage compartment on the left hand side along with a can of tyre repair stuff
