On-Board Air Compressor Tire Inflation Time

Using the Viar on-board air compressor to inflate a large truck tire.

I wouldn't say a lot but I do get off road more than most. Forest roads, sand washes, mountain creeks, deep snow, etc. and sometimes while pulling a heavy trailer. I need the most capable tires when those times come.

It's just a simple locking chuck. You can get them at any auto parts store.

@PAHUNTERify A two inch level on the front is all.

@PAHUNTERify Toyo MT 315/60/20. I'm really liking them.

@tglander99 It makes a huge difference. Most people think only about the additional side-to-side contact area of the tire but the largest increase comes front and back. photobucket com/albums/t171/tj548/DeflatedTireContactPattern.jpg (you'll have to fix the address and add the dot in the right place)

@tj548p Yes, the difference is dramatic. So, just dropping down to 18 psi is good enough. I wonder if anyone has done this with dually trucks. My tires run at 80 psi normally, Probably get stuck at that pressure even in low 4-wheel drive. Drop the air pressure, and I shouldn't get stuck at all.

@FordsAreSick11 It's a Lariat F350. There are a million reviews of the base truck. Check out my other videos to see all the modifications.

@Roberto7474001 They are cool just for this purpose. :) Google "locking air chuck" and you'll find lots of options.

Do you find that 18 psi on the sand makes a real difference? Every run lower, like 10 psi? I haven't had the dually out in the sand yet... I'm wondering what a safe psi range would be when I actually do take it out. Looks like your on board system is working pretty nice for you.

The mud tires wear faster. I will get about 35,000 miles on this set.

[@JoshGrayHHH619]

What kind of fitting do you use on the end of the hose to keep it on the tire instead of having to hold it on yourself during inflation?

[@Booker60510]

Are you able to fit 35" inch tires on a stock suspension or do you have a small lift on it?

[@Roberto7474001]

Where did u get that locking air chuck?? I need one! With the one that i have now i have to stand there to hold it the entire time im inflating the tire and it gets pretty annoying, especially with the big boy tires that need 50+ psi ;)

[@gdogdieseldually]

how is the tread life compared to regular street tires?

[@gdogdieseldually]

you mud alot?

[@EpicCowlick]

I made a video of the entire installation. Check my channel and it's there.

[@Alot327]

Nice set up where can I get a compressor set up like that if you don't mind me asking.

[@EpicCowlick]

It's made by VIAIR and their systems are all over the internet retailers. Try Amazon or just about any other car/truck accessories sites.

Thanks your sir. Chief
