1. A method for pressurizing a tire associated with a vehicle, comprising:

  • measuring, at a tire inflation device, tire-specific data, wherein the tire-specific data includes at least one of a tire pressure, tire temperature, tire tread depth, rate of change of air volume, or a rate of movement of the tire;

    measuring, at the tire inflation device, at least one environment condition associated with the tire, wherein the at least one environment condition includes external air temperature;

    transmitting, by a transceiver, the tire-specific data and the at least one environment condition associated with the tire from the tire inflation device to a network entity;

    receiving, by the transceiver from the network entity in response to the tire-specific data and the at least one environment condition associated with the tire, an optimal tire pressure information calculated to maximize fuel economy of the vehicle and tread life of the tire; and

    adjusting, by the tire inflation device in response to receiving the optimal tire pressure information, the tire pressure of the tire based on the optimal tire pressure information.
