So Photomatix can be done correctly to pull detail from the tires and darkest parts of the car to regain detail.

However this can be done in photoshop with what I like to call "Selective HDR"

You want to add a "Exposure" adjustments layer, and then mask off properly, so bring the exposure up properly... but be cautious, cause if you don't get a good enough exposure in the first place or placing your Zone 6 or 7 -- then IMMENSE noise can come out of the Zone's 3, 2, 1, and 0's.

Hmm this is like scientific talk ha oops!
