Question for the OBA gurus...

That is what I plan on using. It makes it harder to route because of how rigid it is, but it will give much better air flow.

One would think that the bigger tank would be a lot better than say a 3 gal tank but I don't think that is true. My 7gal (if that is the actual size) filled to 120psi will barely fill half of a 35" tyre before the 120/80 switch kicks in and starts filling the tank again. Filling a tyre drains the tank faster than the compressor can fill it so you are on an uphill battle and the compressor can never catch up until all 4 tyres are full.

That's true, but a larger tank will let you fill more before the compressor has to kick in.

That's true, but a larger tank will let you fill more before the compressor has to kick in.

In practice, this is ~20 seconds for a 7gal vs ~10 seconds for a 3 gal.
