No other accessory will get you further off-road than the mighty 12v air compressor.

Being able to constantly tailor your vehicles tyre pressure to suit the terrain you’re driving is an absolute advantage in sand, on rocks, mud and even on dirt roads to reduce the risks of puncture and loss of traction. By carrying a heavy-duty air compressor and a purpose made tyre deflation tool in your vehicle, emergency tyre issues are now, practically a thing of the past.

4WD Supacentre have a huge range of Air pressure accessories ranging from the simple to run Thumper MKII Air Compressor, to the fully fledged double piston Thumper MAX which features an automatic cut off when it hits max pressure!

When coupling these powerful and practical 12v Compressors with the comprehensive range of accessories to keep your pressures accurate and ready for the tracks you’re hitting! By adding a 3-in-1 inflation/deflation tool to your Thumper MAX along with a 4m hose extension, you’ve equipped yourself with an unstoppable setup that not only one of the highest output compressors on the market but is also equipped to start and stop with the push of the integrated trigger, and dumping out air pressure with the integrated dump valve means you are able to drop your tyres down to a functional pressure whatever the terrain you chose to tackle.

If you were choosing to shoot for a slightly lighter setup for more occasional usage then grabbing a Thumper MKII and a Kwiky Tyre Deflator will definitely tick a lot of boxes, with the Kwiky being able to drop air pressures faster than just about any other system on the market, it’s no wonder more Aussies than ever are grabbing Adventure Kings Gear for their camping setups

What Pressures Should I Run?

Just like with cooking, every chef has their own recipes and tyre pressures for driving on different terrain will have many more different opinions – there is a solution, the 4PSI rule!

Because we all have differing tyre sizes and vehicle loads, a pressure that works for you might not be the best for your mate. The 4PSI rule is a proven way to find the right tyre pressure for your 4WD’s tyres across ANY terrain.

Set your pressures roughly where you think they should be for the terrain using your Kwiky Tyre Deflator, and then drive for long enough to get the tyres warm. Check the pressures again, and if they’ve gone up by more than 4psi, the starting pressure was too low. If they’ve gone up by less than 4psi, then your pressures were too high and you should drop a couple of PSI out. It’ll help you figure out the correct tyre pressure for each terrain. After all, poor pressure choice and is the biggest contributor to tyre failure.

With the right compressor setup and the right tyre pressures no matter where in Australia you like to drive, you’ll not only get more milage from your 4WD tyres but also get additional performance one hard soft and slippery surfaces!

If you’ve set your campsite up with Adventure Kings gear then you’ll understand the incredible value for money, best of all, with 100’s of uses, the Adventure Kings range of air compressors is just as handy around the home or campsite, as it is in the back of your 4WD.
