The tires in my Toyota Camry are low because of the cold air and the low tire indicator light came on. I checked the air pressure. Two were 24 lb and two were about 28 - 29. It was 20° F this morning and will be tomorrow also. (They were checked two months ago at F 75°+.) If it were warmer, I am sure the temps would be 3 to 4 PSI more.
Anyway, I plugged in my 6 gallon air portable compressor, built up pressure and inflated one tire fine. The next, I could not get air to go in at all. Changed chucks and the same thing. Went to another tire and it inflated slowly but acceptably. Last tire was like the second one. It would not inflate. Took my chucks apart and checked them and they were OK. Both chucks were alike but one bought at HF and the other purchased at the NAPA parts store two or three years ago.
Chucks look like this one:

The valve stem cores didn’t seem to be too far in but they could be just a tad too far in to be activated.
Anyone have an opinion on this and a solution?
Thanks.
