IMHO.
Do note that the better tyre pump requires higher current. Some cigarette lighter socket max current is limited.
It's a matter of time. Lower current for lousier tyre pump will still get the job done. Enough to drive to Paya Lebar or Balestier/Lavender (2 of the late night tyre shop area in SG)

If unchecked, there is a possibility of blowing the fuse - no outcome.

I see. So is juz a few mins more of pumping.
Longer pumping time is fine.

It seems car lighter uses 10/15/20 fuse amp....from wat i googled.

Under 1500cc cars may just use 10amp.

Portable air tyre is a great idea but I dislike the idea of a power bank or battery left in the car.

I have the Xiaomi one~ helped my colleague to pump his flat tyre~ initially he asked for the tools to replace spare tyre then I lent him my air pump, which save the trouble to replace spare tyre under the hot sun~ :s22:

Alternative is to get runflat lo.

But they are useless if you do not have a tyre pressure monitor in your car.


And they are godamm expensive.

I have a tyre pump that indicates 150W and 14A. 🤣
If pump only a single tyre, usually it is not a concern.
If pump all 4 tyres, have to read the specification for "rest" time.

There are certain areas in the car that is cool even under hot sun.

These days, a TPMS is a must. A tyre at 160 kPA will look similar to a 200 kPA tyre.
