Zusammenfassung:The tire deflation device (30) includes a rail member (34) having a support portion (38) and a piercing portion (40). The piercing portion (40) of the rail member (34) extends toward a tire (20) and is located between the tire (20) and a protected portion (40) of the automotive vehicle (10).

The support portion (38) has at least one anchor member (32) fixedly attached thereto for securely mounting the rail member (34) to a side mount (12) of the automotive vehicle (10) within a middle rigid zone (14) thereof.
