Fastest car = lower tire pressure
faster with less spinning

To that pressure can decrease the wheels
without the tire skates?
(I mean: interior of the tire, being able to him to damage it)

Do you mean for everyday driving? Or specifically at the dragstrip?

You can also boost the pressures in the front tires to reduce their rolling resistance, but you'd probably only want to do that in a straight line.

For dragstrip.
I suppose that to reduce the pressure a lot, it could cause that the tire of the interior part of the wheel skated and to damage the tire.
(It would break the valve of entrance of air)

I'm no expert, but I'd think if you kept 20-25psi in the tire it wouldn't spin on the rim or have the rim dig into it.

the trick here is to deflate the rear tires just enough to have a full contact patch on the asphalt...if the center of the patch is lighter in color than the rest,your tires are too soft...if the edge is lighter,your tires are too hard...you have to do a couple of burn-outs to adjust
