32.0/13.5-15W Drag Tire - Stiff Sidewall

The HOOSIER 32.0/13.5-15W drag tire with stiff sidewall construction is purpose-built for bracket racing and drag strip competition. This bias-ply drag slick delivers the consistent launch bite and sidewall stability required for controlled acceleration off the line, making it the go-to choice for weekend warriors and serious bracket racers who demand predictable performance in the quarter-mile.

The D05 compound formulation is engineered for drag-specific traction, generating grip precisely when it matters most—during the critical first 60 feet of the race. The stiff sidewall design prevents excessive flex under hard launch loads, maintaining consistent tire geometry through the acceleration zone and reducing wheel spin that would otherwise cost valuable time. The white letter sidewall adds classic drag racing aesthetics while the 15-inch wheel diameter fits established small-tire brackets. Weighing 39.55 lbs, the tire is light enough to minimize rotational inertia without sacrificing durability across multiple pass sessions.

This tire is ideal for dedicated drag racers competing in small-tire classes where the 32-inch overall diameter and 13.5-inch width fall within rule specifications. Whether you're running a tube-frame racer, street-legal drag car, or bracket car at your local strip, the HOOSIER drag slick delivers the predictable bite and sidewall control that translates directly to consistent elapsed times and winning heads-up matchups.

Drag-specific compounds differ fundamentally from street slicks or all-weather racing tires. The D05 formulation prioritizes launch grip over wear life, meaning maximum traction for short bursts rather than longevity. Stiff sidewalls reduce load transfer delay during acceleration, keeping the contact patch flat and predictable. HOOSIER's drag tire lineup is widely recognized in bracket racing circles for delivering consistent, competitive performance across varying track conditions and weather states.
