How many litres per minute or CFM does the compressor push out (i.e. how long does it take to inflate a regular tyre)?

Not sure about CFM but it's slow I've had several types and they we're all about the same.

Not sure about CFM. I have inflated a car tire with relatively low PSI (26 or so) up to 32 PSI in less than 60 seconds... perhaps less than 40 seconds.

I never used the compressor. I returned it. I inflate the bags manually when ever I am going to tow something. I just use my garage compressor. I bleed it the same way.

From 0 it might take like 2 to 4 mins a tire, but from 15psi to 40psi it would not take long at all. per tire maybe 1min or a little long if that.

Realistically, this compressor is inadequate for the job. The volume it produces is far too small to do a tire in a reasonable amount of time. ARB offers a tire inflation kit (part #171302) that can be fitted to any of the larger compressors such as the CKMA12. However, even that model is slow. Expect a 30 minute fill time for a tire.

My tires are 265/70R17's and the rear tires took less than 3 minutes to go from 60 to 80 PSI. I selected 60 PSI for the rear tires to go off road so the low air pressure alarm on the display doesn't trip as often. Nothing scientific, just an annoyance factor. I'm not a tire guy but it seems that you would have a higher volume of air so I would expect longer fill time.

The CFM of this compressor is O.8CFM @ 90 psi. Use is best for filling tire pressure etc. not for heavy use such as spray painting.

I had no problem putting air to the tires by using a regular hand pump. Perhaps you might want to check the pump? Make sure the pump head is inserted fully to the tire's valve

Personally I did not think much of this item and I eventually returned it. I was only using for maintaining the air pressure for my car and bikes. The compressor would run out of air much faster than blow up a single tire, so this did not work for me. Possibly if you have a different use in mind it will work for you.

We had to use a very large air compressor and it still took about an hour. I imagine it would take days to inflate from a lighter jack. Once we inflated we just kept the air in it and just fill up if its running a bit low.

Not very long, but long enough to inflate exercise balls and bike tires. Have not used on car tires yet. I love it, all is well have not used it in awhile .

Measured in liters per minute not psi. Around 1.31L/minute for the 40. Sorry about not having psi measurement nor even manufacturer has that.

It'll take days to inflate it by mouth. If you use a dinky car charger air pump, it takes about 30 minutes. If you use an inexpensive electric air pump it takes about 5 minutes. Deflating is pretty quick, but good luck fitting it back into the carrying bag it comes with. It's very difficult to be able to get every little bit of air out and roll it up as flat as it was when we got it.

When I use mine, I let it come up to pressure and it stops itself somewhat over 120psi at the tank. I have the output side of the regulator set to about 50 psi for filling tires on vehicles. Part way through filling up a tire the compressor will turn on again to bring the tank up to pressure again. If you are expecting the compressor to turn off at what you have set the regulator to, that is now how it works. The compressor will always fill the tank with its "normal" operating pressure and the regulator outputs the selected pressure.

Hi, the inflator is attached to an air hose. My air hose is connected to a 3 gallon air tank that's filled using an air compressor. It takes two hands. You hold the inflator in one hand with your thumb on the lever. You hold the end of the tube in your other hand and push it down on the Schrader valve on the wheel. You do have to press hard otherwise it will leak. When you press the lever, the air will enter the tire. The pressure gauge sticks out and gives a continuous reading the whole time you're using the inflator.

The Gallon Capacity Of The Compressor Is Irrelevant. What You Really Need To Consider Is The Air Supply Rate. The Manual Specifies That At 100 Nails Per Minute You Need To Supply 8.7 CFM. At 50 Nails Per Minute, Then Half That Air Rate.

I don't believe this is suitable for that purpose. It's not actually an air compressor, where you have an instant volume of air at the press of a button. It's basically designed to pulsate or pump air into air inflatable devices such as vehicle tires, basketballs, etc. BUT... if you are looking for a FAST vehicle tire inflation pump, this is the ONE to get! I LOVE mine!
