Using ARB locker compressor for tires?

I have a lead on an ARB High Performance On-Board Compressor for ARB Air Lockers - CKMA12” with a small tank for a decent price. I’m looking for just a basic onboard setup for my 2WD van with OEM size tires (245s) in case I ever need to air down. Would also like to be able to use it for airing up mountain bike tires and the like. Although this is made for air locker use, would it also be ok for what I want to use it for? I do have a nice SmittyBilt portable compressor but don’t really have the room to tote it around so would like a built in one under the van.

Alternatively, suggestions on a decent setup for very occasional use for under $200?

Any thoughts are most appreciated!

Probably the same on I have, with the tiny tank mounted. Airs mine up just fine.

That is the one that I have mounted under the van. It works fine. Not the fastest compressor to air up with.

I'm guessing the duty cycle on this particular model is up to the task or inflating tires?
