29.5/9.0-15 ET Drag Tire

The 29.5/9.0-15 ET Drag Tire by Mickey Thompson is engineered for dedicated drag racing and competition vehicles where maximum acceleration off the line is non-negotiable. This slick tire is purpose-built for straight-line performance on prepared surfaces, delivering the compound consistency and sidewall rigidity required to transfer explosive horsepower to asphalt without wheel spin. Whether you're running a quarter-mile bracket race, testing at a drag strip, or building a dedicated competition machine, this tire eliminates the variables that soft street compounds introduce to your 60-foot times.

Mickey Thompson's ET drag tire features a proven slick design optimized for minimal rolling resistance and maximum contact patch stability during hard launches. The 29.5-inch overall diameter and 9.0-inch width are classic drag racing proportions, allowing the tire to wrap predictably around the rim without deformation under load. The reinforced sidewalls resist flex during weight transfer, keeping the contact patch consistent through the critical first few feet of acceleration. At 20.75 lbs per tire, this compound is substantially denser than street rubber, providing the thermal stability needed to maintain grip across repeated passes without degradation.

This tire is ideal for dedicated drag racers, competition bracket racers, and street-legal modified vehicles running slick setups. It pairs with 15-inch racing wheels and fits vehicles prepared for strip duty where street legality is secondary to consistent launch performance. Installation requires proper wheel mounting knowledge and balance equipment; work with a tire shop experienced in motorsports setups to ensure the bead seats correctly and the tire is dynamically balanced for high-rpm stability. The 29.5/9.0-15 ET configuration is a time-proven sizing in competitive racing, making replacement easier when you need fresh rubber for the next event.
