Air tank to refill tires
 
What size air tank would I need to carry to refill 4 31x10.5x15 tires
from 18psi to 35psi?

I would prefer to have onbaord air and not have to carry the tank, but
the compressor setup is $515CND, and the air tank is only $12-$25CDN.

If this is the kind you fill with an air compressor, about 4 tanks should do
it.
If you are talking about a CO2 tank, check this link,

Seriously, he's right. Don't expect to be able to carry enough
compressed air to be even CLOSE to worth it if you're just talking
about tanks you fill with a compressor. MAYBE if you had a high enough
capacity tank, such as a scuba tank that can take 2200 PSI or
something...but those are expensive as heck and negate the cost
savings justification you're using.

CO2 tanks will do nicely since they contain the CO2 in liquid form,
and a single 10 GAL tank could fill up your tires more than once (I
don't recall the exact specs on how many of your particular tire size
could be filled). However, the CO2 tanks can tend to get just as
expensive as a compressor setup.

Good luck in your decision.

hardware store and get the cigarette lighter air compressor, but it takes at
least 5 minutes a tire to air back up.
