Default Rear Air Shock Pump as a tire pump?

Can (should?) the H-D rear air shock pump be used on the tires?

The rear shock pump guage goes up to 60 psi and would permit me to remove the H-D tire pressure guage and portable tire pressure pump I've been carrying in the saddlebags.

You'd think it would be ok, the instruction sheet doesn't say you can't, but it would take a LOT of pumping to inflate a tire ...

Do yourself a favor and get a small compressor, the shock pump will take forever and ever and then some
