I am looking for a quality but low priced tire pump suitable for pumping up car tires. I am tired of driving around looking for air at gas stations. I have used a Zefal Husky high pressure pump but it was slow. Also the hose finally let go.
I want a high volume, but not high pressure pump. Any suggestions? The red pump at Nashbar looks good. Any comments? M4-AK

If you would spring for Fred Flintstone rock tires you wouldn't have this problem.

Save yourself a lot of work and buy a $20 12 volt automotive air compressor at WalMart.
Or do what chokey said. |

You could always just get one of those Jump battery packs that have a built in compressor. Never a problem if you have a dead battery and a pump if you have a slow leak
 eta: it will only work if you have a schrader valve though |

I can use some exercise, and plugging in is a pain. Those compressors that I've used in the past were always slow. I just want to top off once in a while. |

I just use a floor pump I got from Bike Warehouse(now nashbar.com to give you a idea of how old it is) a long time ago for my bikes. Probably work okay for car tires since it fills bike tires pretty fast. I just looked at it and its a Zefal HP doubleshot. Pumps on the up and down stroke. |

Most reliable pump I have ever owned is a Silca. The larger unit is better for larger tires.
Barring that, buy an air compressor. |
