Abstract
A tire-pressure regulating system is proposed with which the air pressure in the vehicle tires can be varied while driving. The tires are connected to supply lines in which rotor connections, control valves, flow restrictive elements and an adjustable regulating valve are disposed. A relay valve and an axle valve are incorporated following the regulating valve. By means of guiding the supply line in and at the axle valve in a particular manner, an acceleration of the pressure equalization process is attained. The tire-pressure regulating device is preferably usable in trucks and trailer trucks.
