Default suspension air pump for tires?

I was wondering if the suspension pump would be good for topping off tire pressure. It is 0-60 psi on the gauge.

No, the air volume per stroke on the suspension pump is way too low.

You would be there all day and I am sure that your arms would become very large after a few time of stroking....

Con't I use a air tank and when I turn it on to fill the tank I shut it off at 35 lbs so that I would not have to worry about checking the pressure.. Saves time..

That makes sense I have a hard time getting the air chuck on the stem under the brake and all. The rear is even more fun with the saddle bags.

Oh no, I did use my HD air suspension pump to adjust the pressure in my tires; yes it took threeor four minutes to add atwo or threeof pounds to each tire, but I am retired so it all worked out.

You moght want to get a good floor bicycle pump. It will move some volume, controllable and good ones have a guage with an arrow.
