Default Air Tank Size question for a Newb

Greetings. New owner of a 4dr Jk. I have 32" tires and would like to air down for the trail (15 lbs. or so) then air back up again. Would a tank of 5 gallons @125 psi be enough to refill the tires for the road? Thank you!

You don't want those air tanks.....get one of the CO2 power tanks. It can fill up something like 30 tires with a 5 lb tank!

If the 5gal tank was hooked to a compressor you could fill your tires. You might get one tire full with that reg tank, no compressor, Second would be iffy. Co2 tank if you just wanna tank as stated previously.
