Abstract

A system and method of controlling pressure of a tire. The method may include executing a low supply pressure operating mode when an available supply pressure of pressurized gas is less than a target tire pressure. The tire may be inflated with pressurized gas provided at the available supply pressure when an estimated tire pressure is not within a threshold amount of the available supply pressure.
