The width (contact patch) and height of the SO4 are skinnier than Michelin on identical tire sizes. I ran 285/30/20 Michelin A/S 3 as DD and there is about an inch of unused outer tire due to negative camber, with the SO4 at the same PSI there is only 1/4 of an inch unused tire. The height of the SO4 when mounted also looks dramatically "shorter". So if you upgrade to Michelin PSS and run lower PSI on the drag strip, you might achieve better 60' and 1/4 mile times.

My best 1/4 mile run on my bone stock 370z with A/S 3 tire was 12.91
Haven't tried the SO4 yet
