29.5/10.5-15 Drag Tire

The 29.5/10.5-15 Drag Tire by HOOSIER is engineered for serious bracket racing, strip competition, and dedicated drag racing vehicles where maximum launch grip and consistent quarter-mile performance are non-negotiable. This tire represents the pinnacle of drag-specific rubber design, built for drivers who demand predictable traction off the line and repeatable ET consistency across multiple passes. Whether you're competing in NHRA events, running test-and-tune nights, or building a dedicated drag car, this HOOSIER compound delivers the launch characteristics and sidewall compliance that separate winners from the field.

HOOSIER's drag tire technology focuses on a specialized rubber compound formulated to generate maximum traction during the critical initial launch phase, where wheel spin and tire growth directly impact 60-foot times and overall ET. The 29.5-inch overall diameter and 10.5-inch width combination is purpose-built for mid-weight and heavier drag platforms, providing optimal contact patch geometry for vehicles in the 3,000–5,000 pound range. The sidewall construction emphasizes controlled flex and minimal deflection under hard acceleration, maintaining consistent rolling circumference throughout the run—a critical factor in maintaining dial-in accuracy. At 28.25 lbs per tire, these are lightweight enough for racing applications while retaining the structural integrity needed to handle repeated launch cycles and sustained straight-line speeds.

Mechanics and dedicated drag racers choose the 29.5/10.5-15 for vehicles ranging from small-block-powered street-legal drag cars to full competition bracket racers. Installation requires a properly maintained 15-inch wheel with appropriate backspacing and offset to accommodate the 10.5-inch tire width; verify your rim specifications before purchase to ensure clearance within your vehicle's fender wells and suspension geometry. These tires demand proper tire pressure management and heat cycling before competition to achieve optimal performance—consult HOOSIER's technical guidelines for pressure recommendations specific to your vehicle's weight distribution and power output. For best results, pair these tires with a quality drag radial wheel, maintain consistent pre-race preparation procedures, and replace when tread depth approaches the wear indicators typical of high-performance drag compounds.
