D6637 28.0/10.5R17 X5 Drag Tire

The Mickey Thompson D6637 28.0/10.5R17 X5 Drag Tire is a purpose-built radial drag tire engineered for bracket racing and dedicated drag strip competition. This 28-inch diameter tire combines a pro-bracket-optimized construction with Mickey Thompson's X5 high-grip compound to deliver consistent traction off the line while maintaining the structural integrity required for repeated launching cycles at competition speeds.

The 10.5-inch width and R17 fitment place this tire in the dedicated drag radial category, where sidewall construction and compound stiffness are calibrated specifically for straight-line acceleration rather than cornering performance. The X5 compound formulation provides repeatable launch grip necessary for consistent ET runs across multiple passes, a critical requirement for bracket racers competing in controlled environments where tire consistency directly impacts ladder positions and round advancement. The radial construction supports the rapid load application characteristic of drag launch while the black sidewall maintains the classic appearance associated with competition drag tires.

This tire is designed for dedicated bracket racers, bracket racing teams, and competition vehicle builders who require a tire specifically engineered for drag strip performance within sanctioned racing environments. The 28-inch diameter suits vehicles with tall chassis rides or suspension setups common in bracket racing platforms. Weighing 36.44 lbs, the tire balances the mass requirements for effective traction transfer without excessive unsprung weight that would compromise suspension response in a finely-tuned drag platform.

The D6637 represents the specialized end of the tire market, where general-purpose radials cannot match the targeted performance characteristics developed for the specific demands of bracket racing competition.
