"We finally quit when mu buddy's vintage spare exploded in his garage.  Still a good method if you ask me just use a fresh spare :)."


Well… I’ll tell you what I think about that.

First…. H8PVMNT… that post dropped your I.Q down about 20 points! LOL…..  Somewhere just above a retard.

You went from “Master Tweaker”, to “Master Twit”.. LOL.

Secondly, I would NOT want to pump up my spare 2.5 times above the maximum rated – not only because of the obvious danger of exploding and causing some serious injury or damage, but also because the stress may make the tire structure fail prone.

Thirdly, buying the necessary connectors and hoses would cost more than a 5 gallon compressed air tank.

And, lastly…. I would have to witness a 33x12.50 tire at 120 psi produce enough volume of air to air up 4 tires from 8 PSI to 25 PSI… I don’t think there is enough volume of air (cubic feet of air) in that tire.  You would need about 2 cubic feet of air, which is about 15 gallons, or 3 each 5 gallon air tanks, filled to about 150 PSI each.

Of course, anything is possible on 4-wheeling forums, and I could be sucking air somewhere.  :yikes:
