33.5/16-15 Drag Tire

The Hoosier 33.5/16-15 drag tire (model 18600C07) is a purpose-built competition tire engineered for serious drag racing applications where maximum traction and consistent launch performance are non-negotiable. This tire is designed for dedicated drag strips and controlled racing environments, making it the choice of racers who demand predictable sidewall flex, optimal weight transfer, and explosive off-line acceleration.

Whether you're running a dedicated bracket car, a pro-mod vehicle, or a high-horsepower drag machine, the 33.5/16-15 format delivers the tall sidewall compliance and narrow footprint that translates wheel spin into forward momentum. The 33.5-inch overall diameter and 15-inch wheel diameter specification place this tire in the classic drag racing sweet spot, where sidewall construction becomes critical to launch feel and elapsed time consistency. The 16.5-inch width minimizes rolling resistance and reduces the contact patch variability that can lead to inconsistent launches.

At 42.45 lbs per tire, the weight is optimized for inertia management during hard launches, and the sidewall architecture is tuned to allow controlled deflection under extreme axial loading—the precise geometry that separates a 60-foot time advantage from a reaction-time penalty. This Hoosier drag tire benefits racers looking for a competitive edge in performance and consistency on the drag strip.
