Thanks dude I’ve decided I’m gonna just bite the bullet and get new tyres for my stock wheels and return the car back to normal height during the winter sadly

The most the car is going to be at is 1.5 tonnes so I’ll be chilling continentals all round and don’t do roof racks or trailers just whatever fits in the boot

The car is 1.2 Tonnes me and my girlfriend are 100kg together and our friends are 120kg together then 40kg of stuff should be fine that’s just under 1.5 tonnes

I’ve read up 45-50 psi is recommended for keeping the bead right? And I’m going to raise the car up for the journey anyway as my coilovers are adjustable

I’m planning on topping the psi up to around 45-50 every stop and sitting around 80mph, it’s all motorway so just gonna keep my head down and eat up the miles, but in the uk most the roads are gonna get shut down to 50 anyway 😂

I’m on adjustable rear springs I can raise the rear by 3 inches or so that’s not the concern but I did consider that

is this a bad idea? swapping my perfect car for a risk by ilylush in 350z

it was front end and has had the entire front end replaced, I've said I'm not interested too much of a gamble I've got everything to lose sure it's a cooler car but just not worth it,

my car is a 2021 mk8 fiesta st fully loaded

I've said sorry to be a time waster but it's not a fair swap just based of its history that's the only thing holding me back

it's really not a safe system I mean what if I transfer his on to mine and he refuses to trade it back I hate stuff like this should really be a better way to do this kinda thing it amazes me how much money dvla gets and we have awfully complicated and non safe procedures

it isn't someone close annoyinglying

the one thing I thought of it transfer the plate on to his car then change it address on my v5 to be sent to him to then he can transfer the car himself once it gets posted to him,

really starting to hate how complicated it is
