All the posts below are good, but I can add 2 things. The garden hose adapter should be available at any farm supply or tractor dealer
and NAPA also has them. If you want to do it yourself, you dont need a pump, you can siphon it
in. You will need to get the container higher than the tire. once you get the siphon started
you can stop it by clamping the hose with vise grips without losing the prime. I have filled many
tires this way when I didnt have access to a pump.
You will still have to stop and let the air bleed out-just clamp off the hose and press the bleed valve on the adapter.
