The thing you have to consider with compressors is it needs a high pressure blast with some tires vs. just having a constant flow at lower pressure or a slow build up of pressure. Removing the core helps but can be problematic replacing it in time for tires that come unseated easily. I know the compressor at my bike shop could not seat a tire that my Leyzene could. I can get the Leyzene up to 200psi before I release it. Anyway just some random thoughts.
