Not specifically, but pumps made for bicycle tires that have
schrader valves will work on car tires.

Probably not but you can get a FOOTpump. And an electric pump that'll
run from the cigar lighter socket.

FOOTpumps... they still make those things? good luck, ones made back in
the 80s didn't last very long at all.
Anyway, a decent bicycle pump will fill a car tire. I use the regular old
hand plunger pump I bought for my bicycle on car tires as well. works well.

I got annoyed with how slow they are compared to a decent bicycle pump.

try one of these;

I have a clone of it that I got from PepBoys on sale for $21.00,and it
works great.(MF-1040)
some of the other low cost 12V auto compressors are JUNK.
If you still want a manual pump,I'd recommend a foot pump;they take less
effort than a hand pump.
auto tires have a large volume,much harder to fill than a bike tire.

Foot pumps are a joke. I had one once and since the piston only moves like

Yeah, I know. I used one once to pump up the tires on my bike. Never
worked worth a damn and finally hit the trash when the foot lever bent
laterally. Now a days I have a nice US$200.00 aircompressor that I
bought at Home Deopt. Works like a fucking charm both with the bike
and the cars.

Odd,I use a foot pump to pump up my bicycle tires,had it for many years.
FAR easier than using a hand pump.
Sir Ray
> FAR easier than using a hand pump.
but not so much in the real world - I guess you got lucky and got a
well-made foot pump, the ones I see in the auto stores (and bike
stores) are crap, fall apart in no time (as somebody already stated,
on one the foot lever just bent to the side, another just leaked). I
shudder to think what Wal*Fart's foot pumps are like (are they pre-
broken in the box?)

Can't you get a cheap tire for 35 bucks or so? At least these
wouldn't have exposed 'cords'.
Or do you have giant earth-mover tires on your Monster Truck?
Or, most likely, are you just a blithering idiot living in a weird
fantasy world...

I think the foot pumps bend to the side because people do not put pressure
on them straight down.
I don't recall where I bought this pump.it's made in Taiwan.

That's what this tire is - a $35 job. I must have rubbed it against a curb.
Anyway, i drive slow so it doesn't matter.

The pump was a cheap chinese made POS from wally-world.

Is that what you charge your tricks at the bathhouse, now?

My sympathies to the curb.

Get it fixed or get off the road before you kill someone, you
degenerate american (sic).
BTW, your buds shrub and bernanke are taking your advice (as seen in
the .sig). Why don't you thank them?

private banks and borrowing from them means the taxpayers have to pay

Just going on the basis of the foot pump that I destroyed, they are
too narrow so that if you don't direct the force of your foot exactly
straight down, the lever either bends or the pump tips over rather
violently. That and the metal making up the thing was too thin. The
first few times, the pump could be straightened out back to
functionality by hand.

First it would have to earn that US$35.00 for the tires. Kind of hard
for a US$0.25 bathhouse whore like SADDAM to do.
>Or do you have giant earth-mover tires on your Monster Truck?
Doubt it.

Now, you're talking!!! ;)

They still make them and they still don't last very long. I carry one
in my back pack when riding. Every time the pump goes bad, I buy a new
one like it, and return the old one in the same box.

Why not just spend the $15-20 for a frame mounted pump? $50 for a decent
floor pump?
