28.0/9-15 Drag Tire

The 28.0/9-15 drag tire from Hoosier is purpose-built for dedicated drag racing, bracket racing, and straight-line acceleration on prepared tracks. Engineered specifically for vehicles running limited-entry or full-slick configurations, this tire delivers the consistent launch grip and sidewall stability demanded by competitors who measure performance in tenths of a second.

Hoosier's drag tire construction emphasizes sidewall compliance and load distribution for optimal weight transfer during hard launches, while the compound and tread design (or lack thereof in slick versions) minimize rolling resistance and maximize contact patch consistency. The 28-inch overall diameter and 9-inch width strike a proven ratio that works across front-engine dragsters, rear-engine altereds, and various entry-level racing categories.

At 24.77 lbs per tire, this is a lightweight solution that reduces unsprung mass while maintaining durability through multiple heat cycles—critical for racers running qualifying and elimination rounds back-to-back. Competitors in sportsman drag racing and bracket racing will find the 28.0/9-15 compatible with most stock-appearing wheel packages and racing-legal rim widths in the 5- to 7-inch range.
