What size compressor would be suitable for pumping car and tractor tyres??

Is 50l enough or would I need a 100l??

Thanks

Either will be fine as the capacity of the tank is not the most important factor. The CFM (cubic Feet per Minute) of the pump is more important as it is what determins the volume of air the compressor can produce

That said a compressor with a bigger tank normally will have a bigger CFM pump, but check it.
