 His Pontiac G8 Drifting tires 275 35 R18, MAXXIS MA-Z1 Victra, part no TP00082100  produced awsome burnouts. Pontiac G8 GT SLP Firehawk with drag tires might be the only way to get the horses to the ground. Tires need the correct amount of air pressure to operate effectively.

Do not let anyone tell you that under-inflation or over-inflation is all right. It is
not. If your tires do not have enough air (under-inflation), you can get the following: Too much flexing Too much heat  Tire overloading Premature or irregular wear Poor handling Reduced fuel economy If your tires have too much air over-inflation), you can get the following: Unusual wear Poor handling Rough ride Needless damage from road hazards A vehicle specific Tire and Loading Information label is attached to the Pontiac G8 GT center pillar, below the driver’s door latch. This label lists thePontiac G8 original equipment tires and the recommended cold tire inflation pressure for the tires when they are cold. The recommended cold tire inflation pressure, shown on the label, is the minimum amount of air pressure needed to support your Pontiac G8 maximum load carrying capacity.How you load your vehicle affects vehicle handling and ridecomfort. When drivi ng with less than the maximum load capacity allowed for your Pontiac G8,
you can set tire inflation
Pontiac G8 GT SLP Firehawk maxxis tires for high speed.

If you add wheels or tires that are a different size than your original equipment wheels and tires,
this may affect the way your vehicle performs, including its braking,
ride and handling characteristics, stability, and resistance to rollover.
Additionally, if your vehicle has electronic systems such as, antilock
brakes, traction control, and electronic stability control, the
performance of these system  can be affected.
