Abstract: The tire deflation device (30) includes a rail member (34) having a support portion (38) and a piercing portion (40). The piercing portion (40) of the rail member (34) extends toward a tire (20) and is located between the tire (20) and a protected portion (40) of the automotive vehicle (10). The piercing portion (40) is intended to puncture and deflate the tire (20) when a crush zone (18) is deformed inwardly so as to force the tire (20) into the piercing portion (40) of the rail member (34). The support portion (38) has at least one anchor member (32) fixedly attached thereto for securely mounting the rail member (34) to a side mount (12) of the automotive vehicle (10) within a middle rigid zone (14) thereof.
