Claim:
1. In combination, a vehicle and a tire pressure control system for the vehicle, comprising: an axle; a tire mounted on a wheel, the wheel rotatably connected to the axle; a pair of pneumatic fittings in fluid communication with an interior of the tire; a selectively adjustable digital pressure switch; an electronic solenoid valve, the electronic solenoid valve in electrical communication with the selectively adjustable digital pressure switch by electrical connection so that the electronic solenoid valve is in fluid communication with the interior of the tire, wherein the electronic solenoid valve is selectively operated by the selectively adjustable digital pressure switch in corresponding relation to the interior of the tire to enable gas above a set pressure to pass to atmosphere; a pair of pneumatic lines, the pneumatic lines extending respectively from the selectively adjustable digital pressure switch and the electronic solenoid valve, the pair of pneumatic lines being removably connected to their respective pneumatic fittings such that the selectively adjustable digital pressure switch communicates with the tire; a battery assembly, the battery in communication with the selectively adjustable digital pressure switch to power the selectively adjustable digital pressure switch and the solenoid valve through the selectively adjustable digital pressure switch, wherein the battery assembly distributes electrical charges to activate the selectively adjustable digital pressure switch to selectively operate the electronic solenoid valve; and a housing, the housing being removably secured within the axle, wherein the selectively adjustable digital pressure switch, the electronic solenoid valve, and the battery assembly are housed within the housing.
