26.0/5.0-17 DS-2 Front Drag Tire

The 26.0/5.0-17 DS-2 Front Drag Tire by MOROSO is purpose-built for dedicated drag racing and quarter-mile competition where every tenth of a second counts. Engineered specifically for straight-line acceleration, this front drag tire delivers the specialized grip and heat management required when launching at full throttle on prepared racing surfaces. Whether you're running a purpose-built drag car, altered, or high-performance street machine at the strip, this tire is designed to maximize traction during the critical first 60 feet—the most important portion of any drag pass.

The DS-2 compound and carcass construction are optimized for the extreme loading and rapid acceleration typical of drag racing, with a narrow 5.0-inch width that reduces rotating mass and improves weight transfer to the rear wheels during launch. The 26-inch diameter (17-inch rim) sizing positions this tire in the common 17-inch drag wheel package, compatible with modern drag racing platforms that balance wheel diameter with overall vehicle height and aerodynamics. MOROSO's engineering ensures predictable grip progression through the launch phase, consistent performance across multiple passes, and durability that withstands repeated high-stress acceleration cycles without rapid degradation or unpredictable slip behavior.

Front drag tires serve racers who understand that tire selection directly impacts ET and consistency—critical for bracket racing, heads-up competition, and any format where repeatability is essential. The 26.0/5.0-17 DS-2 tire is designed for those who prioritize performance and reliability on the drag strip. With its specialized design, this tire is an excellent choice for serious racers looking to enhance their vehicle's performance.
