Can a car drive with tire pressure at 150kpa?

[StMarley]

It is not safe to drive with a tire pressure of 150kpa. According to the international GBT2978-2008 standard requirements, the recommended tire pressures are as follows: Standard tires: 2.4-2.5bar; Reinforced tires: 2.8-2.9bar; Maximum pressure: Should not exceed 3.5bar. Tire pressure reset method: First, turn on the ignition, then press and hold the tire pressure monitoring reset button until you hear a "beep" sound before releasing. The tire pressure monitoring system will then store the current normal tire pressure data, automatically clear the previous data, and finally, the warning light on the dashboard will turn off, completing the tire pressure reset. There are generally three reasons for abnormal tire pressure: Abnormal tire pressure: The system will usually alert when the pressure is below 1.8bar or above 3.0bar. In this case, the tire needs to be checked and the pressure adjusted. Tire pressure monitoring not reset: After inflating the tires, if the tire pressure is not reset in time, the tire pressure monitoring system will still record the previous data, causing the tire pressure monitoring indicator light to turn on. Simply perform a tire pressure reset to resolve this. Damaged tire pressure sensor: The tire pressure sensor, which monitors the tire pressure, is installed inside the tire and connected to the tire inflation valve. If the sensor is damaged while driving, it will also cause the tire pressure warning light to turn on. For sensor damage issues, the only solution is to replace it with a new part.

I remember one time my car's tire pressure dropped to 150 kPa. I tried driving for a while, but it really wasn't possible. Too low tire pressure causes significant tire deformation, making the car unstable and greatly increasing the risk of a blowout. Normal passenger car tire pressure should be around 220 to 250 kPa, so 150 is dangerously low. When I checked the tires, I noticed severe edge wear and a sharp increase in fuel consumption. Later, I bought a tire pressure gauge to measure it myself, and keeping it at the manufacturer's recommended value made things much easier. Safety first—don't risk driving. Just find a place to pump up the tires or visit a repair shop for adjustment. A few minutes can prevent major problems.

I've driven quite a few cars, and you can clearly feel something's wrong when the tire pressure drops below 200kPa, let alone 150kPa. The tires look flat, the contact patch increases significantly which not only raises fuel consumption but may also damage the rims if driven long-term. The normal range is 220 to 250kPa, 150 is way too low. I make it a habit to check regularly, like at the beginning of each month, and inflate immediately if pressure is low. Keeping a reliable tire pressure gauge in the car is very convenient, and most gas stations now offer free air service. The key point is not to drive unsafely - a high-speed blowout is no small matter, so I suggest addressing it immediately without delay.

I think 150kPa tire pressure is definitely insufficient. The standard tire pressure recommended by most manufacturers ranges from 220 to 250kPa. Below 200kPa, it starts affecting performance. Insufficient tire support leads to longer braking distances and accelerated wear. I suggest first using a tire pressure gauge to measure the actual value and confirming it before deciding whether to drive. Usually, 150kPa might be caused by a leak, so just drive to a repair shop to fix the puncture. It's important to develop good maintenance habits, like checking tire pressure during car washes to ensure it's within the safe range.

When my tire pressure gauge showed 150 kPa, I didn't dare to drive far. The normal pressure should be around 230 kPa. 150 is too low and can cause wave-like deformation on the tire sidewalls, which can easily lead to a blowout. Even on a short trip, I felt the steering wheel was light and the handling was much worse. Later, I developed a habit: checking the tire pressure every month, and more frequently in summer when the heat can cause pressure to drop. If it's really low, I go straight to the repair shop. Saving small money now might cost a lot more for new tires later. In short, safety first—if you can drive but shouldn't, it's wise to deal with it immediately.

I've experienced tire pressure as low as 150kPa, and it felt terrible. The tires were severely deflated compared to the normal value of over 220kPa. At 150kPa, rolling resistance increases significantly, making the car consume more fuel and produce louder noise. Prolonged use under such conditions accelerates damage to the tire's inner walls. Now I use a digital tire pressure gauge for regular checks and address any abnormalities immediately. Never take it lightly—even on low-speed roads, it's not advisable to drive far. Maintenance is convenient, as most auto shops offer free adjustments. Prevention is always better than dealing with unexpected issues.
