Spare tire Air pump!
I used the air pump for the first time and it was worthless!
It leaked so bad near the connector that I had less air than when I started.
Anyone have a problem with theirs?
While I'm at it, anyone know where you can get a spare for the R230 that is reasonable?

Weird... Have you tried to press the hose with your hand while pumping? Maybe you couldn't get to hold properly?
I had to use it as well once and worked just fine. And i was able to fit the tire back in the trunk. Is yours gone?
For another one try ebay, saw there a few, but overall they're pretty hard to find. Dealer has for sure, but pretty expensive.

You can buy 12v air pumps at Amazon, EBay, WalMart, Northern Tool etc. Some plug into the cigarette lighter and some have clips that go to the battery posts. Just be sure to get one with a good duty cycle, not one for bicycle tires.
