Reddit reviews Viair (00077) 77P Portable Compressor Kit

That's the logical solution to the problem but not an answer to OP's question.

I will also contribute a logical solution but not an answer:

OP, I also hate having to let air out when I overfill and hate using a pressure gauge because it means connecting and disconnecting the hose multiple times to check. I own a "portable compressor" and the vast majority of those come with a built in gauge (example: EPAuto 12V DC Portable Air Compressor Pump, Digital Tire Inflator by 100 PSI or the Viair (00077) 77P Portable Compressor Kit)

I apologize in advance for this long post. None of these are "must gets", but they are what I got for my 2016 Premium forester. I'm posting this for my own future reference as well as to help some people who are wondering what accessories might be good for their new forester. I highly recommend ordering from Jackie from Annapolis Subaru @ 443-837-1422 as she can get you some good prices on the subaru accessories as well as WeatherTech products! I saved on WeatherTech shipping costs (~$20) by ordering through Jackie and the warranty is the same as if I had bought them through their website.

Please note that some of these accessory links are for my specific car year, model and configuration. I have a 2016 Premium forester without eyesight (affects the Covercraft/heatshield sunshade - they also have eyesight compatible sunshades!).

Also, I personally didn't get my windows tinted, but I think that is something that you should seriously consider doing :)

Just food for thought, instead of having a can of fire seal (I think it wrecks the tire) did you think of putting in safety seal tire plug kit and a compressor ? I put it in my other vehicles trunk since the spare is not inflated so I would need to inflate it then once repaired get it back in. I use that car for road trips and it’s saved me already. Doesn’t take up much space at all.

I have the 77p and I like it.

Also check out the EPAuto 12V DC Portable Air Compressor Pump, Digital Tire Inflator https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01L9WSTEG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_o4XmDbQ5Y9QC6

Though I think that the Viairs will probably be more durable.
