Viair and Porter Cable both make great compressors.

You might think an air compressor that has a max 125 air, would air up your tires to that. But not so. You need at least 150 psi to get your tires inflated to120. The higher the pressure inside the tire, the higher the resistance to the input source. So a 30lb reserve capacity is needed to overcome that resistance. This tutorial is only for those who do not already know this.

I bought a Porter Cable CMB-15 150psi compressor on Amazon for about $110. It builds pressure fast and only weighs 20 pounds.
