# Can I inflate tires with the ARB compact compressor CKSA12?

It is not recommended to use the ARB Compact Air Compressor (CKSA12) to inflate tires. This compressor was designed only to engage ARB Air Lockers. For tires up to 35” in size, we recommend the ARB Single Motor Compressor (part no. CKMA12) and for tires above 35”, the ARB Twin Motor CKMTA12 compressor (CKMTA12).
