Try another gas station? Most keep their compressors at 100+PSI, at least over here.

Or you can buy a small compressor that plugs into your cigarette lighter for not much money. I don't leave home without one.


Different vehicles react differently to different tire pressures. I had a ranger and it had to be at 32-35 PSI, any higher and it would be bouncing all over the road. I have a versa now which seems to handle better at 40 PSI than the recommended 32.

And another thing to remember is if you are driving off the black top or on broken surfaces the higher your tire pressure the more susceptible you are to flats.
