An adjustable tire inflation assembly for precisely inflating a tire to a desired pressure includes a tire inflation fitting that is fluidly attachable to a valve stem on a tire for inflating the tire. A pressure adjustment unit is integrated into the tire inflation fitting that is settable between a minimum pressure and a maximum pressure. The pressure adjustment unit senses the pressure within the tire when the tire is being inflated with the tire inflation fitting. A light emitter is coupled to the tire inflation fitting and the light emitter is turned on when the pressure adjustment unit senses air pressure within the tire inflation unit that matches the pressure to which the pressure adjustment unit is set. In this way the light emitter alerts the user that the tire has been inflated to the desired pressure.
