A tire inflation system is provided for a vehicle supported by a plurality of inflatable tires. The system includes a compressor carried on the vehicle, and an air storage tank carried on the vehicle and connected to the compressor for storing compressed air. A plurality of automatically operable fill valves are provided, each fill valve being associated with a respective one of the tires so that each tire is communicated with the air storage tank via a separate one of the fill valves to increase inflation pressure in the tire when its respective fill valve is in an open position. A controller is operably associated with all of the fill valves. The controller has a multiple tire rapid inflation mode in which the fill valves associated with at least two of the tires are maintained in their open positions for an initial period until pressure in the air storage tank and the at least two tires substantially equalizes, and for a subsequent period during which the compressor provides additional inflation air to the at least two tires.
