33.0/14.5-15 Drag Slick

The 33.0/14.5-15 Drag Slick by Goodyear is a purpose-built competition tire engineered for straight-line acceleration on drag strips and closed courses. Designed for drivers serious about launch performance and consistency, this slick eliminates the grooved tread pattern found on street tires, maximizing contact patch and grip during hard acceleration. Whether you're running a dedicated drag vehicle, bracket racing, or testing modifications on a closed track, this tire delivers the predictable grip and minimal sidewall roll needed for repeatable ETs.

The 33.0-inch outer diameter and 14.5-inch width classification create a tall, narrow profile that reduces rotational mass while concentrating load over a minimal footprint—critical for launch traction. The 15-inch wheel diameter fits classic muscle cars, vintage hot rods, and purpose-built race vehicles common in bracket racing and nostalgia classes. Goodyear's drag slick compound is formulated for consistent performance across multiple heat cycles, resisting premature wear and maintaining grip through repeated acceleration runs. The lack of sipes or grooves means zero energy loss to deformation; all rubber works for traction, not water evacuation or noise reduction.

This tire is ideal for dedicated race vehicles, bracket racers, and enthusiasts modifying classic platforms with modern power outputs. Weighing 39.45 lbs, the tire is light enough to minimize unsprung mass, improving suspension response and launch consistency. Proper installation requires a 15-inch wheel fitted to a vehicle with adequate axle strength and suspension geometry tuned for drag racing; these slicks are not street-legal and unsuitable for highway use. Pair with a functional rear suspension package—pinion snubbers, traction bars, or four-link geometry—to translate the grip these slicks provide into predictable acceleration and reduced wheel hop.
