Michelin programmable rapid tyre inflator

Product Information

Consider breaking down and needing to inflate your tyres. We all know that mobile phone batteries have a habit of dying at the worst moments, so this will allow you to give it a boost while you sort the tyres out – better than leaving it in the car to charge while you’re pumping up tyres. Each of the inflators tested here has a gauge that gives you an instant readout that lets you know whether the tyre needs pumping. To use them, simply remove the dust cap from the valve on the tyre and push the end of the air hose over it, before pressing or releasing any catch to clamp it in place. Petrol station tyre inflators have pressure gauges, too, but these aren’t always accurate so it’s best to test using your own equipment. It's very simple to use, just follow the instructions and you're set. The connector is great, easy to screw in and it ensures a seal and consequently fast infla tion. I haven't inflated a really soft tyre but I've been topping up my tyres each month and I love the simplicity of the set up and the convenience. I can see why Michelin would put its name to this. Read full review It is a circular shape with feet on the bottom to reduce vibration, overall it feels like a well built solid unit that would last the test of time. It also comes equipped with 4 high power LED's for illuminating the tyre valve at night which is useful in the winter months. While it may be only the first day of my experience, I felt that I can rate my Michelin Tyre Inflator based on my previous experiences and my first impressions with this unit.

c. My Grand I-10 & I-10 tyres were at 27-28 psi and one of the tyres of my Ford Endeavour was at 22 psi. It took a few seconds for small car tyres and less than 2-3 minutes for the big ones to reach the recommended pressure. Even the hose did not heat up till I went to my sixth or seventh tyre. I kept trying on our neighbours' cars and even after six cars (x4 tyres each) the body did not show any traces of heat. The noise did not change. We’re going to start with the most impressive of Michelin’s pumps that we’ve looked at, thanks to a couple of features that you wouldn’t normally get on an electronic car pump. I then started buying various makes which are more expensive (Rs.1000-2000 range) from SE Asia or even Germany. However, I suspect all of them anyway made in China and have similar characteristics. Analog needle type gauges which can be +/- 5 psi in terms of accuracy (if you ignore the wrong PSI and Pa scale placement matchings), highly noisy (always the KRRrrrrrrr & KiT Kit Kits together) and jump or walk around during operation. You just have to hold them with hand. The switches or the build quality was nothing to write about. And as the age goes up, ie., within 15-20 uses the time taken for inflating increases. They just struggle beyond 30 psi. And between a small car (say an Alto or an I-10) or a SUV, they show their weakness immediately, in terms of time taken per psi of pumping in the 25-35 psi range. If you want to be equipped for every flat tyre eventuality, the VonHaus Cordless Tyre Inflator has you covered. It will run for up to ten minutes from the supplied 1.5A lithium-ion battery, but if you forget to charge it you can always switch to the bundled 12V adaptor, which comes with an unusually generous 3.5m cable. It has a small, but still readable, digital pressure meter. And you can just set your desired pressure, pull the trigger and let it go to work: it will stop when it reaches the right level.Some like our Michelin 240V superfast digital inflator plugs into your household mains if you’re worried about your cars battery. It will also inflate faster! Our Halfords Advance tyre inflator does both 12v and 240v! While others are rechargeable and don’t need to be plugged in to use, like our Michelin mini rechargeable inflator which is great for topping up tyre pressure where ever you are.
