28.0/10.0-18 Drag Tire

The 28.0/10.0-18 Drag Tire from Hoosier is a purpose-built competition slick engineered for bracket racing, drag strips, and high-performance quarter-mile applications where consistency and predictable grip are non-negotiable. This is a single tire designed for racers who demand the optimal balance between launch traction and sustained acceleration through the trap. Whether you're running a dedicated drag car, modified street machine, or competition vehicle, the 28.0/10.0-18 format delivers the sidewall height and width ratio that maximizes contact patch at launch without sacrificing rotational inertia.

Built on a bias-ply construction, this tire excels at load transfer and provides the rigidity necessary to minimize spin-up and maximize forward bite off the line. The D06 compound is Hoosier's dedicated drag racing formulation, engineered to generate peak grip through the critical first 60 feet while maintaining consistent performance across repeated runs. The white-letter sidewall is a traditional drag racing aesthetic that also aids in visual inspection for wear patterns and compound condition. Weighing 20.5 lbs per tire, the modest unsprung weight makes this an excellent choice for vehicles where reducing rotational mass improves launch response and acceleration uniformity.

This tire is ideal for bracket racers, footbrake drivers, and anyone running a dedicated drag setup on 18-inch wheels. The 28.0/10.0-18 dimensions fit directly on standard 18-inch drag wheels, making installation straightforward for vehicles already equipped with appropriate suspension geometry and rear housing. Proper tire pressure, inflation consistency, and track temperature management are essential to extract full performance—most drag racing applications benefit from pressure tuning based on ambient conditions and track surface. The single-tire pricing allows competitors to source matched pairs or sets as their budget and racing schedule permit.
