That thing will do 100 psi. It should air up tires just fine. Heck I used to use one like that. Even now I use a 3 gal portable bottle to air tires with so I don’t have to stretch out hoses. I usually fill it with a small DeWalt compresser.
Now, if you are going to be using it to run a die grinder or any tool that needs a lot of air flow, you need a compressor that can supply that flow. Look for a CFM rating. Heck some of us even have very small 12v compressors make for carrying on your bike. They will fill up a tire, just not very fast. ( Size does matter sometimes
The one you have listed is not a high volume compressor. It says 1 CFM at 40psi and .6cfm at 90. So it will do the job, just not necessarily fast.
Also, when you set the regulator on that thing, turn it all the way up. Don’t set it on, say, 40 psi, and air your tire. It will flow better if you don’t choke it down. That may help you.
