A self-inflating tire assembly is disclosed comprising a tire (1) having a tread region (6), first and second sidewalls (3), and first and second bead regions (4), the first and second sidewalls extending respectively from the first and second bead regions to the tread region, wherein the tread region and the first and second sidewalls enclose an annular tire cavity (5); an air passageway (7) connected to one of the sidewalls and extending essentially in a circumferential direction of the tire for pumping air from outside of the tire into the tire cavity, the air passageway having an inlet (8) for receiving air to be pumped into the tire cavity and an air outlet (9) for conducting air into the tire cavity; and an air pressure regulator (10, 100, 101, 110, 111) comprising an air pressure regulation chamber (21), a connector end (17), and a channel (23) fluidly connecting the pressure regulation chamber with the connector end. The air pressure regulator (10, 100, 101, 110, 111) is detachably connected to one of the air passageway inlet (8) and the air passageway outlet (9) via the connector end (17) for allowing fluid communication between the channel (23) and the air passageway (7) via the connector end (17). Also, a pressure regulator kit for regulating the tire cavity pressure of a pneumatic tire is disclosed. |
