Drag Tire 17.0/36.0-16 C2021 Compound

The Drag Tire 17.0/36.0-16 C2021 Compound by HOOSIER is specifically designed for high-performance drag racing and quarter-mile competition, where traction and launch consistency are essential. This tire is engineered for serious racers who demand superior grip and predictability, making it ideal for bracket racing, heads-up competition, and testing setup changes on the track.

The C2021 compound formula is crafted to provide consistent friction characteristics across varying track temperatures and surface conditions, which is crucial for achieving reproducible elapsed times (ET) performance. The tire features a 17-inch nominal width and a 36-inch overall diameter, designed to fit dedicated drag racing wheels and suspension setups that optimize weight transfer and launch dynamics. Its construction includes drag-specific sidewall architecture that minimizes deflection during hard acceleration, allowing for better power transfer to the track surface.

Competitors in NHRA bracket racing, test-and-tune events, and regional drag strips will benefit from the proven performance of HOOSIER's C2021 compound. This tire is particularly advantageous for those chasing narrow ET windows and repeatable performance, as its design supports modern racing platforms where managing rotational inertia is critical for improving 60-foot times and overall consistency.
