Since the timer doesn't start until the car moves, your e.t. doesnt change" if your asleep at the tree" that only matters if your racing someone in the other lane. Thats how faster e.t. gets beat by someone that isn't asleep That's called holeshot. Guess you have never been to a drag strip

Choice between one or other lighter wheels or lighter tires always choose lighter tires.
The further out from the hubs the weight is focused the more power it robs.
So figuring mass as a whole is misleading.
Focus on lightest rubber and skinnier you can get a way with.
OP. Par for the course especially with the additional 160 170lbs over an average car jockey you're carrying.
What altitude is your track?
