Best Portable Tire Inflators: 5 ranked by spec score

12 V and cordless tire inflators ranked by max PSI, airflow (L/min), power source, auto shut-off and the published time to fill a typical tire.

Scores are calculated from manufacturer specifications. Products with an overall score of 4.0 or higher are marked as top picks.

Safety note: Never exceed the tire pressure printed on your door-jamb placard. Inflator PSI claims are the manufacturer's; verify with a separate gauge.
