Default Air Compressor

Can anyone tell me if the included air compressor is strong enough to use on the installed 285/40 AS or is it just for the collapsible spare?

Aren't the spares a higher pressure? Hard to believe it couldn't easily handle 30-35psi for the regular tires...

I tried to use mine to add a few pounds and after 3 blown 20 amp fuses I used a 30 amp and it quit completely. It sounded like it was really struggling before it gave out. Dealer won’t order a replacement until I make the 3 hour round trip so they can substantiate it is faulty?!?!

Same with mine. The fuse blew up and had to put a 30 amp one. Delear wants to see the thing before replacing. It's definitely a defective compressor.
