26.0/10.0R-15 Drag Radial Tire

The HOOSIER 26.0/10.0R-15 Drag Radial Tire (part number 18810DBR) is a purpose-built competition tire engineered for dedicated drag racing applications where maximum launch grip and straight-line acceleration are paramount. This radial drag slick delivers the traction and consistency required by bracket racers and bracket racing competitors who demand predictable performance on the strip, combining modern radial construction with compound technology proven at the dragstrip.

The 26-inch diameter and 10-inch width are competition-specific dimensions optimized for vehicles with weight distribution and wheelbase tuned for drag racing. The DBR compound formulation is Hoosier's drag-racing-dedicated rubber, engineered to provide consistent bite off the line while managing heat buildup across multiple passes. The radial construction—unlike traditional bias-ply drag slicks—offers improved sidewall stability and a broader operating window, making this tire suitable for racers transitioning from bias to radial or seeking enhanced durability without sacrificing launch characteristics. The white-letter sidewall provides the classic competition appearance and serves as a visual identifier of drag racing intent.

This tire is purpose-built for dedicated bracket racers, heads-up competitors, and drag racing enthusiasts running entry-level to intermediate competition vehicles. Typical applications include small-block and big-block drag cars, muscle car bracket racing, and dedicated drag racing platforms where consistent 60-foot times and straight-line performance take priority over street capability. The 22.8 lb weight per tire (single unit) and 24 x 10.5 x 25 inch footprint are relevant for calculating vehicle weight distribution and suspension geometry adjustments common in drag racing setup. Each tire is sold individually, allowing racers to purchase matched sets as needed for their specific competition vehicle.
