28.0/10.5R-17 Drag Radial Tire

The Hoosier 28.0/10.5R-17 Drag Radial Tire (MPN: 18825DBR) is purpose-built for bracket racing and drag strip competition. This radial drag tire delivers the consistent grip and predictable bite required for controlled quarter-mile acceleration, combining the structural benefits of radial construction with a compound specifically formulated for launch traction on prepared surfaces.

Measuring 28.0 inches in diameter with a 10.5-inch width and designed for 17-inch wheels, this tire fits modern drag racing platforms and bracket cars where consistent ET performance matters. The DBR (Drag Bracket Radial) compound provides the heat stability and grip characteristics needed for repeated launches without tire growth variations that disrupt bracket racing handicaps. Weighing 29 lbs per tire, the 28.0/10.5R-17 maintains the weight-conscious profile demanded by competitive bracket racers. The white-letter sidewall identifies the tire's purpose and adds the classic racing aesthetic common to dedicated drag radials.

This tire is engineered for racers competing in bracket classes where tire consistency directly impacts competitiveness. Unlike street-legal drag radials, the DBR compound prioritizes launch traction and predictable sidewall flex over durability or wet-weather performance. Bracket racers, dedicated drag strip competitors, and builders of dedicated race vehicles select this size for compatibility with modern wheel packages and the need for repeatable performance across multiple qualifying rounds and final rounds. The radial construction offers advantages over slick designs in terms of sidewall support during sustained cornering in the shutdown area.

Hoosier drag radials are recognized in competitive circles for meeting NHRA and other sanctioning body specifications, making the 28.0/10.5R-17 a trusted choice where rulebook compliance is verified before purchase. This tire is sold individually; most bracket racing builds require a matched set of four for consistent performance.
