28/13.5-15LT Quick Time Pro DOT Tire

The 28/13.5-15LT Quick Time Pro DOT Tire from Hoosier is purpose-built for high-performance street and strip vehicles where quick acceleration and consistent launch grip are non-negotiable. If you're running a modified muscle car, drag-focused street rod, or competition-oriented sedan, this tire delivers the sidewall stiffness and compound formulation needed to hook hard off the line while maintaining DOT street legality. The 13.5-inch width and 28-inch diameter combination positions this tire in the dedicated quarter-mile warrior category—serious enough for bracket racing yet legal for occasional street duty.

Hoosier's Quick Time Pro construction emphasizes load transfer during acceleration by utilizing a reinforced sidewall that resists deflection under hard launch torque. The LT (Light Truck) designation indicates load-range capability suitable for vehicles with aggressive suspension geometry and weight transfer characteristics typical of modified platforms. The DOT certification means the compound is street-legal, though the soft racing-spec rubber will wear faster under sustained highway use than all-season alternatives. At 23.35 pounds per tire, the relatively lightweight construction reduces unsprung mass—a critical advantage when tuning for quick 60-foot times and mid-range acceleration.

This tire excels on 15-inch wheels fitted to vintage and modern muscle cars, street rods, and dedicated drag platforms where tire diameter is constrained by frame clearance or class regulations. Buyers typically select the 28/13.5-15LT for rear-only application, often pairing it with narrower DOT radials up front for weight distribution and handling balance. Installation on vehicles with 4-link or triangulated rear suspension setups ensures maximum grip translation, while proper air pressure tuning (often 20–28 PSI for launch conditions) unlocks the tire's potential. Verify wheel offset and suspension geometry before purchase to confirm sidewall clearance during full compression.
