Central tyre inflation: the United States and New Zealand experience

A brief summary of tests conducted in the United States of America to examine the benefits of operating trucks at low tyre pressures is presented. A central tyre inflation (CTI) system was designed and built in New Zealand and installed on a logging truck which operated in Kinleith Forest. Experience with this New Zealand system is outlined and recommendations for future CTI systems are given.
