Drag DR-4 Gloss Black alloy wheels with Nitto NeoGen ZR high performance all-season tires. The wheels are 17"x7" with a 40+mm offset and a four bolt pattern, 4x(100/114.3). The wheels are 10 spoke and weigh about 16.5 lbs. The Nitto tires are 215/40 ZR17 NeoGen ZR M+S all season performance tires. I got my fastest run when I dropped my PSI from 50 to about 25. Would have gone lower but I wanted to make it back home safely!

If you needed to lower the presure on 215 Z-rated tires on 7 inch rims, then you most have been slamming it into drive after reving it in neutral. Back when I was a kid, my brother use that technique on a new corolla my dad bought us. The car needed a new transmission after 10k.

Nope nope nope! I know WAY better than that, I'm not a stupid kid, 26 in fact and have owned many vehicles. When I was 17 I busted the motor mounts on my Ford Galaxie 500 because I had it revved up real high and it slipped into drive. ANYONE who revs up their auto and drops it into drive is a dumbass. I lowered my pressure because that is what the other racers there were doing, and I wanted to see what adjusting little things would do. (It was test and tune night.) I did manage my fastest time this way.
