Some heavy truck tires run at 120psi, lots are over 100. Of course they're often watched over by stake-wielding drivers, but tapping them wouldn't be any fun if it weren't a challange.

More like I'll be inflating the car tires from my bicycle tires 
But...... If my Airzound bottle is empty, 35 PSI is better than 0 PSI

Then keep an inflated bike wheel & tire in your car, and use it if your car tires go flat. It reminds me of an AC adaptor I have, that on one end has a thing that plugs into a car cig lighter, and the other plugs into a standard wall outlet. I have no idea how to use it or what it's for, but it creates interesting conversations.

This reminds me of the old VW Beetle that I had years ago (and early 60's model if I recall correctly.) The windshield washer bottle was connected to the spare tire via a hose and operated on tire air pressure - no motor! Pretty clever unless you actually used it and forgot to top up your spare tire.
