"My rear tires need some air." is often heard. "My rear tires need to be inflated." is too long and formal and technical for real life speech.

Other variations you might hear are:

My rear tires are a little low on air.

My rear tires are a little flat.

I need some air in the rear tires.

My rear tires are running flat.
