Question

I use my manual floor bike tire pump on all my tire needs. Super quiet, gives me a work out and no dependency on electricity.

If only one tire is soft, it’s more than likely you have a nail in the tread. Better have it looked at.

I think a foot pump would be better to have than a hand pump. Leg have more muscle than arm. Long ago I kept a foot pump on hand for emergencies, should my 120 volt compressor be disabled by a power failure, to pump up a bicycle tire or a football or basketball, or should I need to pump up a tire while on the road. It kind of fell apart though after being used to fill about 8 tires over 2 or 3 years.

yah, i remember having a foot pump long time ago for my bicycle in my teen days.. the hand pump i have now has more capacity in one pump vs the foot pump i had. the cylinder or watever they're called is like 3x the size. not that it matters.. foot pump or hand pump is good to have during blackouts.. but i cant remember ever needing to use it during a black out. haha

That's what I suspected, but I checked it when I filled it and found nothing. It's still holding pressure.
