Might wanna buy a few extras for trail spares. They weren't designed to push that much volume. You'll burn 'em up filing tires. If you limit the on time to 5 minutes. Then give it 5 minutes break. Then continue and do the same, you'll prolong the life of it. Plus it will take half an hour to fill the tires.

Not knowing what model ARB compressor you purchased and if you really must use it for airing up tires, besides in an emergancy, build or buy a large air tank a really large air tank and put some fans beside the compressor to help cool it.
