Drag Tire 34.5/17.0-16 W2021 Compound

The Drag Tire 34.5/17.0-16 W2021 Compound from Hoosier is engineered specifically for bracket racing, drag strips, and high-performance quarter-mile competition where maximum traction off the line is essential. This slick tire eliminates tread patterns entirely to maximize contact patch and grip during hard acceleration, making it the choice for serious drag racers who demand consistency run after run.

The W2021 compound is Hoosier's proprietary drag-specific rubber formulation, designed to provide optimal heat management and grip across varying track conditions while maintaining predictable performance throughout multiple heat cycles. At 34.5 inches in diameter and 17 inches wide, this tire fits 16-inch wheels and features a sidewall construction that resists rollover during aggressive launches and cornering loads typical of drag racing.

Drag racers, bracket competitors, and street-legal strip cars benefit most from this Hoosier offering, particularly those running dedicated rear-wheel-drive platforms with 16-inch wheel packages. The slick design—absent of any tread pattern—exposes maximum rubber to the track surface, critical for generating the coefficient of friction necessary to deliver power from your engine to the asphalt without wheel spin.
