On a normal use passenger car this is incredibly stupid overkill unless you are doing something special and you are still going to need a sufficient output compressor. On a commercial use semi trailer this scheme is fantastic and we already use such permanently installed systems (Meritor) on large fleets of trailers. These systems work well because they can take air from the semi tractor (power unit).
@@kmg501 as a long time driver, I'm familiar. These are fairly useless for a passenger car doing mall car things. They are nice however for airing down and back up on the trail. Adding a couple pounds isn't what this is for. It's for taking all 4 at the same time from 12psi to 36 psi, or whatever pressures you choose.
@@EverymanOverland Thanks for the reply. I'm curious, have you heard of anyone using such a device in a rally or competition of any kind? I only ask because that is the only thing I can come up with that might justify these. I suppose I am taking a harsh view but the practicality just isn't meshing with me. Anyway, please don't take offense at any of this, offense is not intended.
@kmg501 no I haven't heard of them used in racing. I think I'm that environment tenths of a psi can make a difference. You really need to get a Guage on each tire in that world. I take zero offense from your comments. These systems, the 4 tire inflation systems and methods for controlling the pressure only make things easier. It's nice when airing up at the end of the trail to be able to do other things. Chat with your friends, make lunch, pack the truck... Whatever. But this is airing up oversize off road tires, not standard size passenger car tires. When I first saw these inflation systems, I though they were dumb. Then I used one. It changed my mind. Necessary? No. Not at all. But nice.
@@mhviper1987 thank you! The ten six pro controls airing up, this will control airing up and down. If you already have a pro, and don't have another use for this like shop air, or a power tank, or whatever... I'd save the money and get some screw on type deflators. If you dint have a pro, you could get the regular ten six and this to control up and down...
@@stephbarbershop2518 for sure this is nice to have, but not required at all. I like it, it makes storing up and down easier. But if money is tight, or you're building up your kit, this wouldn't be my first choice. But if you've got your recovery gear, and 225 bucks isn't a big deal... It's nice to have.
@@Nickporter17 so other than my shop air compressor I'm not very experienced with regulators... But I suppose this works just like a regulator with digital settings. That's really what it is. I think the difference is that it will do pressure up and down. Plus it's already plumbed with the fittings you want and need, it's ready to rock just as it is.
@@kenbo80 possibly more clutter, but in the truck somewhere. And it's not small. It's pretty useful, I like it, but yes it comes with a clutter penalty for sure.
Quality gear. Ordered mine. Thank you! Great video.
@@JamesSmith-SC thank you! I hope you like it as much as I do...

@@EverymanOverland Understood, well if these float someone's boat, that is good enough I suppose. Cheers.
@kmg501 cheers to you. Stay safe driver.
Wew! More gear!
@@tatetolson383 new gear is always happiness!
Looks sick 💪🏼💪🏼
@@CaptMako it's pretty awesome!
Love your videos, awesome addition to your kit, is it pointless if u have a 10-6 pro bc the compressor does the same thing?
@@mhviper1987 thank you!

Save your money.

Don’t know if the question was asked , but once it “learns” does it flow without stopping on the next or subsequent uses?
@@Chicanoverland no. It learns every power cycle. But it only costs you a few seconds. Not a big deal.
How is this different than a regulator?

More clutter under the hood.
