So, to what pressure do you pump your spare? It seems as if the spare tyre becomes the air reservoir. I understand that 3 bar is about the safe maks to pump a tyre?

The scenario could be some thing like this. You have a reapairable flat on your vehicle but due to terrain or whatever you cannot change to the spare and your compressor is not working or you don’t have one. For all of the forgoing to occur you are one very unlucky traveler but if it does you can repair your puncture and then “steal” a bit of air from each tyre to get you going. None of your tyres will then be ideal pressure but you can at least continue cautiously.


So saying that the Indeflate can do this is rather a moot point as I can’t see you using that feature too often.

Have you ever tried putting a snot plug in a flat tyre? It is not easy. Much easier to over inflate tyre first and then put snot plug in.

I watched Manny use his Indeflate at Whooopa 2 years ago. Really nice piece of equipment. Only down side for me it is to slow to my liking.
Letting down 35`s and 33`s will take forever. I still prefer my 4 Schrader clip on valves. Can let down 4 tires simultaneously.
You will never find me without Stroh or a 4x4 :D
