<TABLE id=table2 border=0><TBODY><TR><TD vAlign=top width=143></TD><TD vAlign=top>On a quest to find a compact air compressor that we could easily store in our quad, yet packed enough punch to quickly inflate our tire should we puncture one on the trail, we came across the Slime Power Sport Tire Inflator. Impressed with the size of the it alone, coupled with the fact that it was made by Slime Sealants, a well know brand in their industry, and the array of power adapters included in the package, we couldn't just let it go unrecognized.

Our test setup was quite simple, as a tire that had been flattened on the trail would have virtually no pressure after doing a tire repair. So, we removed the valve stem core from our tire and let all the air out in order to find out how long it would take to re-inflate our tires to the factory recommended pressure. Our test quad was running 26x12 Mudlite XTR tires, with a recommended inflation level of 7 PSI. After a quick 2 1/2 minutes, we turned off the compressor, checked our pressure and found it to be perfectly inflated to 7 PSI. Quite impressive!

Slime Power Sport Tire Inflator Overall Analysis:


We found the Slime Tire Inflator to fit the bill perfectly for what we were looking for. Should you be in the market for a compact unit for your quad so you don't get left stranded in the woods with a flat, add a tire repair kit along with this product and you've got a perfect combination. After testing it, we've decided the Slime Tire Inflator will be a permanent fixture in our quad's storage compartment.

Something else we feel is worth noting is that the Slime unit uses the same power plug that the Battery Tender product line uses. So, since we have permanently fitted our quad with the battery tender adapter, it doubles perfectly as a power source for our new compressor.


Slime Power Sport Tire Inflator Pros:


  • Rugged yet well designed padded storage bag
  • Compact design
  • A plethora of power adapters to fit any situation
  • Storage bag for the power adapter and power extension cable

Slime Power Sport Tire Inflator Cons:


  • The included tire pressure gauge ranges from 10-50 which for an ATV application is useless. Since most ATV tires run a lower pressure and sometimes you may even want to drop the pressure to 3-5 pounds for muddy conditions to get more grip, we had to purchase another tire gauge to go in our kit that would be useful for lower pressure ranges.
  • Although the Slime Tire Inflator filled our tire to 7PSI in under 3 minutes, we would still have liked to have seen it be a higher PSI compressor. However, 3 minutes is reputable and a higher PSI would be nice only if you needed to unexpectedly use it for your car at some point.
