27.5x4-17 ET Drag Front Tire

The 27.5x4-17 ET Drag Front Tire by MICKEY THOMPSON is purpose-built for dedicated drag racing and straight-line acceleration applications where maximum traction off the line is non-negotiable. This tire is engineered for vehicles running dedicated drag setups, including bracket racers, weekend warriors, and serious competitors who demand tire technology optimized for launch grip and consistent ET performance. If you're serious about reducing wheel spin and achieving repeatable 60-foot times on the strip, this front tire delivers the compound and construction designed specifically for those demands.

The 27.5-inch diameter with a 4-inch width and 17-inch wheel diameter (ET specification) represents MICKEY THOMPSON's expertise in drag tire geometry. The narrow sidewall and specialized rubber compound are formulated to provide consistent bite without excessive heat buildup during repeated staging and launch cycles. The ET designation indicates this tire is calibrated for straight-line acceleration where load transfer is predictable and lateral forces are minimal, allowing the tread design and sidewall stiffness to maximize contact patch pressure and traction coefficient at the moment of launch.

This front tire is ideal for bracket racers, fuel and funny car competitors, and street-legal drag-focused builds where front-end weight transfer and 60-foot acceleration are critical performance metrics. The 12 lb weight keeps unsprung mass minimal, preserving suspension geometry during launch. Installation requires proper wheel sizing (17-inch diameter) and fitment verification on your specific drag chassis; confirm your front suspension geometry and width clearance before purchase. MICKEY THOMPSON's drag tire lineup has established itself as the standard across NHRA and bracket racing communities for repeatability and predictable performance in controlled launch environments.
