Does anyone have a recommendation for a portable compressor that can fill tires to at least 110 psi? My current one is not doing the job.

Thanks
 
A VIAIR 450P should work well. It also has automatic shutoff when it reaches maximum pressure. I've only used mine to 35psi, but 110psi should be no problem. With any portable unit, more pressure and volume = more $$$.
 
Wow that is an expensive little sucker. Seems to get some good reviews though.

It is a decent compressor. Works well and like the size.

Think that's expensive, I have a Gast. Very quite, very little vibration. No longer available, but 120VAC.
Here is one that is very close to what I have, just different color (green)and mine is 105psi, and not cheap but a nice little garage compressor when I don't need my big compressor:

For the cost, it better last me some years

And there's this one that's a few bucks cheaper and is a bit more portable if that's the way you're really leaning...

I recently bought the Sears Craftsman version of the Porter-Cable CMB15. Nice build quality and heft for being so portable. Haven't used it yet, but have read lots of positive reviews on it being used for large RV tires.
 
These are direct drive so run at ~ 3400rpm. 115V. The good thing though is that they are splash lubricated not oilless so that will help with longevity & make them a little less noisy. Also, they're portable at ~65# shipping weight. The only real difference between them is that one has a single "pancake" tank & the other has dual "hot dog" tanks; six of one, half a dozen of the other.

how portable does it need to be? do you have access to 120v where you are using it?

Yes 98% of the time I will have a generator with me that can provide 120v
 
Several months ago I bought the Superflow MV50. It clips on the battery terminals and draws up to 30 amps. I think Amazon sells it, but I bought mine at O'Reillys. It says it can inflate to 120 PSI, but I don't have a need for that high of a pressure, so I can't verify that.
 
I got one of these on sale for $100 last month or so. It's a nice little compressor. 1HP means it refills 2x to 3x as fast as other brands I have seen with 1/3 to 1/2 HP motors. I also got the extended warranty on it.

I got it for portability and filling LT tires on my motorhome and ST tires on my trailer. My van has a generator big enough to power it on the side of the road if need be.

Most cheaper ones are oil free but this one isn't. Oil bath is better because it makes the compressor last longer from what I understand.

Target sells a plastic tote large enough to store it in (in the upright position) if you need to haul it on a trailer or in the back of a truck and want to keep it out of the weather.
