A system includes a valve coupled to a source of compressed air and a wheel hub. The wheel hub includes a stationary element associated with a wheel of a vehicle, a rotary element configured to rotate with the wheel, a seal therebetween, and a port arranged in the rotary element, wherein a flow path extends from the source to valve, the valve to the seal, the seal to the port, and the port to the wheel. A method includes measuring a pressure of a tire based on a sensor signal, where the tire is mounted to a wheel coupled to a wheel hub of a vehicle, determining whether to inflate or deflate the tire based on the pressure, generating a control signal to control the valve coupled to the tire to achieve an open position, and monitoring the pressure of the tire while the valve is in the open position.
