An air supply system for a work vehicle includes a compressor configured to compress a first supply of ambient air and to output a compressed air supply via a compressed air line, an air induction assembly configured to receive the compressed air supply from the compressed air line and to flow the compressed air supply through a body of the air induction assembly to create a low pressure region sufficient to draw in a second supply of ambient air, wherein the body is configured to combine the second supply of ambient air with the compressed air supply to generate a combination air supply, and a tire inflation system fluidly coupled to the air induction assembly and configured to selectively increase and decrease an air pressure within a tire of the work vehicle.
