Too much automobile technology here:

You are better off driving a manual transmission with a clutch pedal, and using a $15 floor style bicycle pump w/ air gauge to maintain the tire air pressure. It takes about 40 pumps to raise a car tire up from 25 to 30-psi, and pumping it manually gives you a much better appreciation on tire traction than an inflation system.

Tapping the inflated tire tread hard with a hammer is also a good test for tire inflation without using a gauge and is easier to do in the rain or in the dark.

And, a manual transmission gives it a better grip on the snow.
