What is the best PSI setting for an air compressor while filling car tires?

I just bought a Bostitch Air Compressor (6 gallon) that goes up to a max of 150 PSI. What should I set it at to fill up car tires?What is the best PSI setting for an air compressor while filling car tires?
Just let it run, and fill your tires to recommended pressures. The higher the air pressure in the compressor, the faster it will air the tire up.What is the best PSI setting for an air compressor while filling car tires?
You should always fill to the recommended manufacturer tire pressure. You can find this out on the driver's door jamb. There should be s ticker there with the info you need. The recommended tire pressure is not the same for every car out there.What is the best PSI setting for an air compressor while filling car tires?
Greater than 40 PSI.



Generally for car tires the PSI is somewhere between 30psi-40psi.



You can leave it at 150 psi, it is just going to fill the tire up extremly quick. Just to it quickly and make sure all 4 tires are the same PSI for treadwear
just turn it on and fill your tires to the recommended pressure that you check with a tire pressure gauge and when your done turn the compressor off.
