ABSTRACT:
A tire deflator and method of deflating a tire includes at least one support, a tire deflating device detachably secured to the at least one support and a deploying mechanism cooperating with the support and deploying the spike so as to be projected toward the tire of the vehicle and to penetrate and deflate the tire. The method of deflating the tire includes the steps of detachably securing a tire deflating device to the support, positioning the deploying mechanism in proximity with the support and activating the deploying mechanism so as to deploy the tire deflating device into the tire and deflate the tire. The degree to which the tire deflating device is deployed can be limited so that the tire deflating device does not become dislodged from a moving tire after being penetrated by the tire deflating device and thus does not create the potential of striking a bystander.
