Thor’s Lightning Rapid 4-Tire Air System

A portable multi-tire inflation and deflation system that connects all four vehicle tires to one central manifold. Use it with a compatible air compressor to inflate, deflate, monitor, and equalize pressure across up to four tires without moving a hose from tire to tire.

  • Hose system: StrikeShield™ braided hybrid hose rated to 300 PSI
  • Reach: 25.5 feet per side
  • Tire connections: Four Dynamo lock-on air chucks
  • Manifold options: Standard manual-control manifold or TotalControl™ preset-pressure manifold
  • Vehicle fit: Jeeps, trucks, SUVs, overland vehicles, tow vehicles, trailers, and most standard Schrader valve stems
  • Functions: multi-tire inflation, deflation, pressure monitoring, and pressure equalization

Air compressor sold separately.

Connect Once. Control All Four Tires.

Air Down and Air Up All Four Tires at the Same Time

The Thor’s Lightning Rapid Multi-Tire Air System connects all four tires to one central manifold. Stop moving an air hose from tire to tire and manage pressure from a single location.

Every system features heavy-duty 300 PSI StrikeShield™ braided hybrid hoses, universal lock-on air chucks, a digital pressure display, and your choice of Standard or TotalControl™ manifold.

AIR COMPRESSOR SOLD SEPARATELY.

Why Use a 4-Tire Air System?

Connect Once

Attach the system to all four tires instead of moving a hose around your vehicle.

Air Up or Air Down

Inflate or deflate up to four tires simultaneously from one central manifold.

Equalize Pressure

Keep the system connected briefly with airflow closed to help equalize pressure across all connected tires.

Save Trail Time

Spend less time managing tire pressure and more time driving.

Built for Real Use

Heavy-duty hoses, reinforced fittings, lock-on air chucks, and a rugged carrying bag are ready for repeated trips.

Choose Your Manifold

Choose straightforward manual control or preset pressure automation.

Rugged Simplicity

Standard Hammer Manifold

Best for drivers who want straightforward manual control.

  • Inflate or deflate up to four tires simultaneously
  • Digital pressure monitoring
  • Manual airflow control
  • No preset pressure programming
