32.0/13-15 Drag Tire

The Hoosier 32.0/13-15 Drag Tire (Part No. 18243D05) is a purpose-built drag slick engineered for straight-line acceleration on dedicated drag racing surfaces. Constructed with a bias-ply carcass and Hoosier's D05 compound formulation, this tire delivers the consistent traction and heat resistance required for consistent elapsed times in bracket racing, grudge racing, and dedicated drag racing competition. The white letter sidewall provides classic drag racing aesthetics while signaling the tire's performance pedigree to fellow competitors.

At 32.0 inches in diameter with a 13-inch width and 15-inch rim diameter, this tire fits classic and modern drag racing platforms designed for the 13-15 rim size range. The bias-ply construction provides the stiff sidewall support necessary to manage the extreme lateral forces during launch while maintaining a consistent contact patch under full throttle. Hoosier's D05 compound is formulated to achieve optimal grip levels on asphalt strips without excessive wear, balancing short-term traction with durability across multiple passes. The tire's 32.3-pound weight is typical for slicks of this size, contributing to the overall weight distribution tuning that drag racers depend on for launching performance.

This Hoosier drag tire is the choice for racers competing in NHRA sanctioned events, bracket racing series, and heads-up competition where repeatable 60-foot times and consistent acceleration are critical to winning. Racers selecting this tire typically operate vehicles in the 7-second to 12-second elapsed-time range, where launch traction is the limiting factor between competitive and championship performances. The drag slick is not street-legal and is designed exclusively for track use on prepared racing surfaces.

Hoosier has dominated drag racing tire development for decades, with the D05 compound representing the company's mid-tier drag compound offering—proven in thousands of bracket racing events across North America. For racers seeking a balance between cost and consistent on-track performance, the 32.0/13-15 drag tire in D05 compound delivers the repeatable grip needed to advance through rounds and post competitive lap times in competitive drag racing environments.
