A self-inflating tire assembly comprising a tire (12) having a tire cavity (40), first and second sidewalls (15) extending respectively from first and second tire bead regions to a tire tread region and an air passageway (43) having an inlet end (42) and an outlet end (43) is disclosed. The air passageway is composed of or established by a flexible material operative to open and close when the tire (12) rotates, wherein the outlet end is in fluid communication with the tire cavity (40). The assembly further comprises an inlet control valve (1100) having a regulator body having an interior chamber, and a pressure membrane being mounted on the inlet control valve (1100) to enclose the interior chamber, wherein the pressure membrane has a first or lower surface that is positioned to open and close an outlet port mounted in the interior chamber, and wherein the pressure membrane is in fluid communication with the tire cavity (40). The body of the inlet control valve (1100) has a first and second flexible duct, wherein said first and second flexible ducts each have an internal passageway, wherein the first flexible duct has a first end connected to an inlet filter assembly (450) and a second end is connected to the interior chamber of the inlet control valve (1100), wherein the second flexible duct has a first end connected to the outlet port of the inlet control valve (1100), and a second end in fluid communication with the inlet end of the air passageway (43).
