Frequently Asked Questions
Which AstroAI tire inflator is fastest for trucks?
For heavy-duty tasks such as inflating truck or RV tires, the AstroAI T6 is the top performer. It connects directly to the car battery via clips and can inflate a standard tire in just 75 seconds (0-36 PSI). The T3 and T4 are also excellent heavy-duty alternatives.
