If the steel cords and belts aren't sealed well enough on the inside the moisture can get in and rust them. Tire failure follows.

If moisture us getting into the belts, then air is too. The air will push the cords apart. That tire will need air all of the time.

Air Compressor Question

https://m.harborfreight.com/oilwater...not%20provided

My sons and I did a project this past winter where we sprayed Bedliner material on an older vehicle instead of having it repainted. Turned out awesome.

We noticed water droplets on the surface of the wet material when I was spraying it on. I did a bit of research and purchased a cheap inline filter like the one in the link. I was shocked at how much water it collected while we sprayed, and there was no more droplets on the surface while we sprayed. The one we used had a 90 psi max capacity, but a quick search on Amazon shows many filter options with 150 psi max pressure.

I never thought about putting water inside my tires (car or rv) when adding air, but now both my compressor hoses have an in-line filter attached in front of the air chuck. One less thing to be concerned about for just a few dollars.

Moisture can rust or corrode the inside of the wheel. The rusted sealing surfaces can ruin the wheel for the next tire replacement.

They make pressure boosters that can take to 90-120 and double it . you can take house air and increase it or smaller compressor that barely has any volume at higher pressures. No experience with this but 200hp boosters at work. Ill bet I could find a 150 psi comp. That I could run an air line to where screw in filter atmospheric would come in at Turing it into a booster. It would only have boost from 100ish to 150psi . So it would have triple volume like it normally has at 50psi.

I added a Viair and I believe it was a 4 gallon aluminum tank under mine a few years back. I made sure I had enough outlets on the tank for all my air lines, pressure relief, drain, etc. I installed it with a line that comes out and is accessible for an air hose that I can run to anywhere. It runs my air suspension, tools if I want, tire inflation, etc. with no problem Tucked it up under the floor on the backside of the stepwell. Easy access if I need to work on it, out of the way from road debris, puddles, or whatever. It has worked excellent, has a switch on the dash to turn it on/off if I want to and for when it's parked for the winter for example.
