An axle assembly (34) for a tire inflation system comprises a pilot operated wheel control valve (62) for controlling tire pressure as a function of a pilot pressure. The axle assembly (34) supports a wheel hub (76) which is adjustable in a plurality of positions. The axle assembly (34) further comprises an axle housing (82) and an axle (84) which is rotatably supported by the axle housing (82). A supply passage (100) extends axially along a central axis of the axle (84) from a first passage end to a second passage end (104). A pilot conduit (118) extends through the supply passage (100) and extends from a first conduit end (119) to a second conduit end. A supply inlet (108) is provided for communicating a source of supply pressure with the first passage end of the supply passage (100). A supply outlet (114) communicates the second passage end (104) of the supply passage (100) with the pilot operated wheel control valve (62). A pilot inlet is provided for communicating a source of pilot pressure (46) with the first conduit end (119) of the pilot conduit (118). A pilot outlet (122) communicates the second conduit end of the pilot conduit (118) with the pilot operated wheel control valve (62). A flexible supply air hose (92) is connected to the supply outlet (114). A flexible pilot air hose (96) is connected to the pilot outlet (122).
