    Not a typical tire question. Load rating/side wall ply questions towing

    Either one is going to be rated well above the axle ratings for your half ton. I don't see a need to go E rated.

    For the guys who think deactivating the mds via a tune is a good idea

    Nobody wants to read or research, just jump on the wagon of who's yelling loudest. 'Technology bad, me want dinosaur'

    Think I might crash

    Yikes. Find a buddy, your dad, your buddies dad etc, someone who knows vehicles and have them learn ya a thing or two on what to look out for. If your tires are wearing that badly, it needs aligned. An alignment shop that's worth the name will tell you if anything is worn or wrong before...

    DRL’s

    Is there not an option in Alfa to pick what is the DRL? Should be option for park lights, turn signal, low beam, high beam. You pick which light is the DRL. Ideally, no DRL. Dumbest automotive 'safety' feature there was until blind spot monitoring.

    Over filled oil

    Well, barring some oddball thing like a severely damaged oil pan which would likely be causing other problems, the capacity of the oil system can't change. Drain. Fill with specified amount and make note on your dipstick if it's reading way off. Chances are it's the wrong stick or even the...

    How to disengage auto park on a dial shifter when door is opened

    Either make it think the seat belt is buckled or if you can train yourself as such, keep the brake lights on. With the brakes on it won't auto-park.
