Road tax has expired so it is all over till march. Normally take the wheels off but need the space this year. Any suggests on what pressure i should use to stop the tyre going square!

I haven't started building my Ultima yet, so I might be talking rubbish, but if it was me, I would look for a way of jacking the front and rear to take some of the weight - then you won't have to be concerned about the tyres.

I would also go for the traditional 'putting it on blocks'.

i keep mine at normal pressures 16 front 21 rear and every 2-3 weeks rotate them slightly so no 'flat' spots occur.

Or even better, put the car on jacks.
