The Self inflaTing TireS iS deSigned To
inflaTe or deflaTe TireS auTomaTically.
TireS need more air while driving on
hard SurfaceS aT high SpeedS and leSS air
for driving on SofT SurfaceS Such aS Soil
or Sand.
The driver of The vehicle will SelecT an
appropriaTe Tire preSSure from inSide The
vehicle
meaningS :
inflaTe : To fill (SomeThing) wiTh air or gaS So
aS To make iT Swell.
deflaTe : To releaSe conTained air or gaS

self inflaTing Tires are going
To be used in The bicycles and
moTorcycles along wiTh The
four or more wheelers
Through ouT The world and
an era will definiTely come
soon when There will be
only self inflaTing Tires in
pracTice.
