I'm trying to figure out what the name of the piece that connects to the air hose is. Discount tire has one that connects quickly to the valve stem without having to screw the connector to the stem. Could anyone please give me the name of what they are called? I tried googling quick disconnect valve connector and other similar but keep getting the screw on type or the clip type. You basically push the connector on it grabs and then fills the tires. Plan on swapping the end of my portable compressor with one that discount tire uses. Thanks!

I do not. I still have my TPMS, so I just watch my cluster till I get where I want them. I typically want till the next morning and fine tune where I want the pressure to be when cold, so getting off the trail is just a very close ball park via the TPMS.
