It was a dark and stormy night, the highway was empty, black and wet. The double yellow vaguely illuminated by the headlights, a ding sounded twice, the low air warning flashing on the dashboard. The right rear tire was under inflated...
It was a cold morning, the sun hadn't cleared the horizon, he could see his breath on the air as he walked to his car to head to work. "Crap." He said as he noticed the flat tire...
He saw the hazards flashing in the distance and began to slow. The car was pulled off the road onto the shoulder and a woman was standing at the rear of it with cell phone in hand. He pulled off behind her and noticed she had a flat...

After spending a day on the water and the sun sinking behind the mountains the couple pushed their boat towards the docks. Their faces red and windblown, smiling but tired. With the boat waiting at the ramp to be loaded on the trailer they found one of the trailer tires flat...
You don't have to be a hard core off road enthusiast to appreciate the ability to air up a tire without needing roadside assistance or a gas station's air pump. Needing air in a tire is one of the most common occurrences motorists face on the road, and off.
I had been looking at various options for a vehicle based air compression, some were mounted and others were not, prices ranged from under $100 to over $600. Those over $250 were eliminated as they didn't fit my budget, and some of them which required mounting and plumbing of air lines were overkill for what I wanted. I'd come to the conclusion that I wanted a mobile air compressor, not overly large but still capable of inflating large tires.
After reading multiple reviews and recommendations for several products I finally decided to give the Air Armor M240 a go.
