26.0/10.0R-15 Drag Radial Tire

The HOOSIER 26.0/10.0R-15 drag radial tire (SKU HOO18810DBR) is purpose-built for serious drag racing and strip-focused competition where consistent launch grip and predictable sidewall flex matter most. This tire bridges the gap between street legality and track performance, making it the go-to choice for bracket racers, heads-up competitors, and enthusiasts running dedicated drag cars or heavily modified street machines.

Unlike standard radials, drag radials are engineered to load weight onto the rear contact patch during launch, translating engine power into consistent ET improvement and repeatable 60-foot times. The 26.0-inch overall diameter and 10.0-inch width place this Hoosier in the sweet spot for 15-inch rim packages common to classic muscle cars, pro-street builds, and small-tire drag racing classes. The R-15 designation confirms 15-inch wheel compatibility, while the drag radial construction features a stiffened sidewall that resists roll and provides minimal deflection under hard acceleration—critical for maintaining chassis geometry during the launch phase.

Hoosier's compound and tread design minimize wheel hop, deliver consistent bite off the line, and maintain performance across repeated heat cycles typical of bracket racing and test-and-tune events. At 22.8 lbs per tire, the weight is reasonable for a bias-ply-influenced radial, reducing unsprung mass compared to heavier street tires without sacrificing durability. This tire is ideal for racers running 15-inch wheels looking for optimal performance on the drag strip.
