Auto Tires Ratings
Is there a chart showing the relationship of volume flow rate to pressure in a cheap auto air compressor?

Those cheap little air compressors that you can get for inflating car tires always seem to have very high pressure ratings, often well over 100 psi. Inflating a car tire at 30 psi doesn’t seem to slow them down much. If I have a compressor rated at, say, 175 psi, can I see an example chart for a similar compressor showing how the flow rate goes down as the pressure goes up? Thank you.
I think I have the Campbell Hausfeld RP1200. Data on that particular compressor would be awesome. It’s a very common one available at Wal-Mart. Thanks.

The best place would be the manufacturer itself, they might have tech specs or a white paper (document of technical specifications)
