Abstract
A tire air pressure deflation system comprising an air delivery system having gas communication with at least one vehicle tire, the air delivery system maintaining the desired tire pressure, and an adjustable air control system adapted to control the air pressure maintained in the air delivery system and supply or expel the air from the tire, the air control system having a starting pressure setting, and a finishing pressure setting lower than the starting pressure setting, the finishing pressure setting having an active pressure setting lower than the finishing pressure setting. Upon activation of the tire air pressure deflation system, the tire deflates to the active pressure setting and the air control system deactivates upon reaching the finishing pressure setting.
