The invention relates to a method of inflating a tire comprising the steps of: providing a tire mounted on a rim, said tire comprising a tire valve to allow selective inflation or deflation of said tire, said tire being filled with a certain amount of air; deflating said tire to reach a pressure which is less than or equal to a predetermined low pressure, said predetermined low pressure being lower than atmospheric pressure; inflating said tire with a source of inert gas to reach a pressure at least equal to a pressure greater than atmospheric pressure, to obtain inside said tire a gas mixture comprising between 5% O2 by volume and 0.5% O2 by volume. It also relates to a tire evacuation apparatus specially adapted thereto.
