A vehicle tire inflation system includes an air supply source (12) in fluid communication with multiple tires (14) of the vehicle. A pneumatic conduit (C) extends between and is in fluid communication with the air supply source and the tires. Means are fluidly connected to the pneumatic conduit for enabling selective inflation and deflation of the tires. The means include a first pneumatic circuit for inflation of the tires, and a second pneumatic circuit (24) for deflation of the tires. The second pneumatic circuit is discrete from the first pneumatic circuit and is common to more than one of the tires. A tire isolation pilot valve (26) is in fluid communication with said pneumatic conduit (C) and equipped with means (132) for monitoring whether the vehicle is parked, whereupon the tire isolation pilot valve (26) interrupts fluid communication between the air supply source (12) and tires to pneumatically isolate the tires, reducing pressure loss.
