The Mickey Thompson 24x4.5-15 ET Drag Front Tire is purpose-built for competitive drag racing, serving as the front-wheel companion to ET Drag rear slicks. At just 11 pounds, this bias-ply tire significantly reduces unsprung weight at the front axle, translating to faster reaction times off the line and more consistent elapsed times. Mickey Thompson engineered this tire specifically for cars, dragsters, and land speed racers where every fraction of a second counts. The ultra-narrow 4.5-inch section width minimizes rolling resistance while the tubeless construction eliminates the weight and potential failure points of inner tubes.
This ET Front tire measures 24.2 inches in overall diameter with a 5.8-inch section width and 4.3-inch tread width, producing a 76-inch circumference that pairs predictably with common rear tire combinations. The tire fits measuring rims of 4.0 inches and accepts approved rim widths from 3.5 to 5.0 inches, giving racers flexibility in their wheel selection. White letter sidewalls provide the classic drag racing appearance while the bias-ply structure delivers the sidewall stiffness needed for straight-line stability at high speeds. Mickey Thompson rates this tire for high-speed use, though it carries no street approval and should never be used on a dynamometer.
Drag racers running dedicated front runners will find this tire reduces the rotational mass that fights acceleration during launches. The 24x4.5-15 size works well on bracket cars, index racers, and street-legal vehicles with drag-specific front wheel setups. Pair these with Mickey Thompson ET Drag rear tires from our tires and tubes collection for a matched race package. We stock this tire alongside related wheels and tires components to help you build a complete drag racing setup.
This tire is designed for a 4.0-inch measuring rim and accepts approved rim widths ranging from 3.5 to 5.0 inches. This range accommodates most common drag racing front wheel configurations while maintaining proper bead seating and tire profile.
No. The Mickey Thompson ET Front tire is not street approved and is designed exclusively for drag racing competition. Mickey Thompson specifically warns against using this tire on a dynamometer, as the heat and stress conditions differ from actual racing applications.
This tire weighs 11 pounds, making it one of the lightest front tire options for drag racing. The reduced weight decreases unsprung mass and rolling resistance, helping improve launch consistency and overall vehicle acceleration.
Mickey Thompson engineered the ET Front for drag racing cars, purpose-built dragsters, and land speed racers. The 15-inch diameter fits common drag racing wheel sizes, and the narrow profile suits vehicles where front tire grip is secondary to minimal rolling resistance.
The 24x4.5-15 ET Front features tubeless bias-ply construction, eliminating the need for inner tubes. This design reduces overall weight and removes a potential failure point, simplifying tire maintenance between runs.
