I have filled air in my scooter rear tyre till 36 PSI (I haven't tried filling till 40 PSI), however I did not notice any difference while filling air till 36 PSI. I'm using a windek inflator from 2017 and is working fine. The only problem is screwing and unscrewing the nozzle is a pain. I had posted a query on the other inflator thread as well. I have been using this product for last 6 to 7 years (at least) and every time it works like a charm . Very user friendly and compact to store. Inflates 10 psi to 36 psi in a couple of mins (just used it yesterday on my Alto). Turn the key to "accessory" mode and the display screen comes alive. Now use the "+" and "-" buttons to pre-set the desired tyre pressure and press the yellow ON/OFF switch. The inflator immediately starts pumping up the tyre. Once the pre-set pressure is reached, the inflator switches off on its own. Once done, unscrew the nozzle from the valve.However the +/- buttons don't work reliably and also the button to change kPa, PSI and Bar. This is something I faced from day 1. https://www.team-bhp.com/forum/modif...ml#post5427604 (Tyre pressure gauge and portable inflator pump / foot pump) A tyre inflator is one of the most important gadgets you could buy for your car. It is especially useful while touring when you might not be able to find a working air pump. Also remember, the best time to inflate your car's tyres is in the morning when they are cold. A good tyre inflator will help you maintain the proper air pressure as you don't need to drive to a pump every time. Various companies make these and among them, Michelin is a trusted name. The French company is well known for its quality products and the 'Programmable Fast Flow Digital Tyre Inflator 12266' that we are reviewing is no exception.

Since the 12206 (below Image) has a double barrel, it fills air fast. Whats more, the analogue pressure gauge is very accurate (confirmed this with a Continental tyre shop when making wheel alignment/balancing). Later Michelin came up with a Digital gauge too.

I also fill air in my 2 wheeler every month, and I did not face any issue while filling air in the tyre, if the 2 wheeler tyre valve has no cap to it and is a bit dirty, just apply a drop of oil to the scooter tyre valve thread - then it becomes very easy to connect the tyre inflator to it. has duty cycle of 20min at 30PSI (20min use/40 min rest) where as 88P has 25mon @30PSI (25min use/35min rest). This means 88P can run more and need less cooling time compared to 87p. The inflator is well-built and feels sturdy. The finish of the product is also top-notch with no rough edges anywhere. The switches are decently sized and are easy to press. The quality of the air hose is fine too. Turn the key to "accessory" mode and the display screen comes alive. Now use the "+" and "-" buttons to pre-set the desired tyre pressure and press the yellow ON/OFF switch. The inflator immediately starts pumping up the tyre. Once the pre-set pressure is reached, the inflator switches off on its own. Once done, unscrew the nozzle from the valve. Inflation Time

Michelin High Power 12 V Rapid Tyre Inflator - Black (12266)

The Michelin tyre inflator can be used to inflate tyres of cars, motorcycles, trailers, caravans and bicycles. You can also use it to inflate footballs, toys and other inflatable items. The maximum tyre inflation pressure for cars is 50 PSI and bicycle tyres can be inflated up to 100 PSI. Note that higher pressures can be achieved in cycle tyres due to their smaller air volumes compared to car tyres. For the Safari I sold my 12V 120W one, and got a 25A inflator which ran using battery clamps directly connected to battery. I have been using this product for the last 6 to 7 years (at least) and every time it works like a charm. Very user-friendly and compact to store. Inflates 10 psi to 36 psi in a couple of mins (just used it yesterday on my Alto). I'm using a Windek inflator from 2017 and is working fine. The only problem is screwing and unscrewing the nozzle is a pain. I had posted a query on the other inflator thread as well.

Michelin 12266 Programmable Digital Tyre Inflator is an ideal device to inflate flat tyres. This is a high power tyre inflator and can inflate tyres from 0 to 30 psi in approx 3minutes. Like all portable tyre inflators, the Michelin inflator makes an irritating noise while operating. This is particularly disturbing if your surroundings are quiet. That said, it is not as loud as some of the cheaper inflators. Again, while it does vibrate, it does not dance around as much as the cheaper inflators. Even after inflating all four tyres of the car on a hot November afternoon, the inflator did not heat up. Shortcomings There is also a dedicated button through which you can choose the desired unit of pressure between PSI, BAR and kPa. Answer: Yes, turning on the engine while using your Tyre Inflator ensures that the car battery is not drained. I bought the Viair 85P based on ajmat/your suggestion six years ago; works like a charm. On a few occasions I've had to use it, it's done 0 -> 32psi (2W and 4W both) in
