What inflation device is in your boot?

[MOOGLEYS]

The one that came with the car and a tube of gunk. It works well on my bike tyres no idea on car yet...

 

[Jumper118]

do you do a lot of track days or something?

no, but my rims leak a bit and i let them down a bit for a weekend drive and pump them up more for them extra mpg's on the motorway had a 2 MICHELIN ones and a halfords one break on me. This RAC one i have now is rock solid.

Nothing, why would I carry a pump around?

 

[TripleT]

Yer nothing too, don't even have a spare. Have some out of date compressed gunk thing which is going nowhere near my car.

I'll just ring recovery then tyres on the drive.

I bought a double barrel one from Halfords. Not sure of the brand. It's had quite a bit of use and it seems fine. Even the gauge seems reasonably accurate.

Slime liquid and compressor

The slime stuff is washable so if you get a puncture and it's in a repairable state the liquid should wash off

A double barrel foot pump. Its quite old and sturdy. And blue. Gauge is useless.

 

[Maccapacca]

Always letting my tyres down to 10psi to get over something so I carry an ARB 12v compressor

Really? Phone breaks? No signal? Bad weather hindering recovery?

It's got to be worth peace of mind you can get back on the road if needed.

Some crap plugin thing. Takes forever.

Ive used a pump before to pump up a tyre which is slowly deflating, so I can creep home.

Exactly lol.

If it's some slow deflation, you wouldn't suddenly go from not needing air in your tyre to imminently needing air in your tyre. Unless you think a £15 pump is an excuse to not get your dodgy tyres replaced, why not just pull up to a KwikFit instead?

Do people just randomly park up in the middle of their journey to top up their dodgy tyres?

If my tyre explodes on the M40 or something the last thing on my mind would be a tyre pump lmao.

If a tyre has gone that flat that it can't be driven on, a pump will do zilch.

If it's a slow leak it could escape overnight, but inflating it in the morning would make it driveable.

Nothing in my car.

It's easier to carry a pump than it is to regularly check the pressure of the space saver if you regularily carry stuff in the boot.

It's also easier to have your own pump for routine pressure checks, or if you need to change them for fully loaded.

If you're going to have a pump it may as well be in the car rather than cluttering up the house/garage.

I carry one around because its better bet than the non-existent spare wheel.

 

[Hades]

I have what seems to be the ubiquitous Halfords double barrel pump in the garage. But I don't carry it with me. I have a spare wheel in each car. But in all honesty last time I needed to remove a wheel in my garage it took a breaker bar the size of the county to undo the nuts last put on by the garage. So I'm not expecting to be able to remove the wheel in a hurry.

So RAC will be my friend instead

 

[Philtor]

Have the Ring 635 compressor as well. Great piece of kit.
