Regarding the air comp, I've been to DragonMart, and they have nice staff, if you want go for the red single, but they don't offer much of guarantee or warranted, maybe one week, then they act like they don't know you.

More better option, I went to ACE hardware, and they offer one year warranted. it is slow pumping but have a peace of mind from any kind of surprizing if the pump stopped working or jammed during your trip. the brand that i took is Black & Decker. now three years i am using, at home and in my car, and no issues. Alhamdulilah.

With all respect for Muhittin ... The right compressor what we recommend is something looks like what you will see in the link

with everything coming from china seems branding is what we pay for....and maybe the odd extra quality control...right?

Nice looking useless piece of plastic B&D. Once you'll get the pop out (and you will), who will wait hours? And after the trip when already all left, you'll be still pumping the first tyre...
