26.0/4.5-15 DS-2 Front Drag Tire

The 26.0/4.5-15 DS-2 Front Drag Tire from Moroso is purpose-built for serious bracket racers and drag racing enthusiasts who demand maximum traction off the line. This specialized front tire is engineered for dedicated drag strip competition where tire compound, sidewall construction, and tread design directly translate to ET improvement and consistency. Whether you're launching a dedicated drag car, fuel altered, or high-horsepower bracket racer, the DS-2 delivers the focused performance required to cut competitive times at the strip.

The DS-2 designation indicates a drag-specific compound engineered for optimal sidewall flex and consistent launch characteristics across varying track conditions and temperatures. The 26.0-inch overall diameter and 4.5-inch width create a contact patch optimized for weight transfer and traction during hard acceleration, while the 15-inch rim diameter accommodates classic drag racing wheel combinations. Moroso's expertise in drag tire development means the DS-2 provides predictable bite, reduced wheel spin, and the repeatability bracket racers need to dial in consistent ETs—critical when brackets are measured in hundredths of a second.

This tire benefits drivers running lightweight drag cars, nostalgia vehicles, and bracket race platforms where front-wheel traction directly impacts launch quality and first-gear performance. The 14.45 lb weight keeps rolling resistance minimal while the sidewall construction resists flex-induced heat buildup during repeated launches. Installation requires proper wheel balance and mounting on appropriate 15-inch drag racing wheels; verify your vehicle's suspension geometry and wheel offset compatibility before purchase to ensure optimal tire centering and sidewall clearance during hard launches.
