Right now, a handful of the best-selling tire inflators on Amazon are available at a discount! If you don't already keep a tire inflator in your garage (or better yet, your trunk) it might be worth considering. Nowadays, most of them are super affordable and make topping your tires off with air an absolute breeze. After all, riding around on under-inflated tires can be dangerous and costly. According to TireRack.com, "If a vehicle's tires are under-inflated by only 6 psi ... the tire's tread life could be reduced by as much as 25%." That's a whole lot of wasted tire time! Luckily, thanks to discounts like the ones below, you can pick up a portable air compressor at a bargain.
AstroAI Tire Inflator Portable Air Compressor - $27.19 (15% off)
This AstroAI portable air compressor comes with three nozzles and will work with any Schrader valve on cars, SUVs, motorcycles, and bicycles. It can pump up tires at a speed of 35 L/Min and can inflate 195/55/R15 tires from 0 to 35 psi in under 5 minutes. The gauge is calibrated to show a reading within 1.5% of your actual tire pressure and is even programmable, so you can just set your desired pressure and let the machine do the work. It's got a large, backlit screen that displays pressure units like PSI, kPa, BAR or KG/CM. There's also a built-in flashlight for if you're working in the dark. The included accessory adapters will also allow you to also use this inflator on balls, air mattresses, balloons, and other small inflatables.
Key specs

- Programmable for automatic fill-ups

Airmoto portable air pump - $79.99 (10% off)
The Airmoto option on our list has a more modern design, making it the sleekest, most portable option of the bunch. In fact, this one is so compact that it can fit in your glove box! It inflates up to 120 PSI, has an automatic shut off, and can gauge and fill using pressure units other than PSI as well, such as kPa, BAR and KG/CM. It's powered by a 2,000 mAh rechargeable battery which takes about 2-3 hours to fully charge, but once it's charged up it'll get you 40 minutes of continuous use. It also includes adapters for things like basketballs and bike tires, but keep in mind that this air compressor isn't meant for large volume objects like air mattresses, etc.
Key specs
- Inflates up to 120 PSI
- Cordless and battery powered

AVID POWER Tire Inflator Air Compressor - $65.99 (27% off)
This Avid Power tire inflator is a multi-purpose cordless pump that can be used with most tires, inflatable sports balls and more. Like the Airmoto compressor, it's a little more expensive than the others on our list, but also like the Airmoto, it's also a little more convenient, since it doesn't need to be plugged in. If its battery pack happens to be out of juice when you need it, it also comes with a 12-volt power adapter that can be used to plug it in. The compressor has an automatic stop function with an indicated pressure accuracy of +/- 1 psi, a built-in LED light and comes with its very own tool bag. Be aware that this compressor, like many others, isn't suitable for large truck tires, but car tires, SUV tires, motorcycle tires, bike tires, inflatable sports balls and more can all be pumped up without issue.
