P235/60R-15 DR2 Tire DOT Drag Radial

The P235/60R-15 DR2 Tire DOT Drag Radial from Hoosier is purpose-built for street and strip enthusiasts who demand legitimate drag racing performance without sacrificing street legality. This DOT-approved radial is engineered for vehicles running bracket racing, grudge racing, or dedicated drag strips where traction and consistent ET performance matter. If you're building a daily-driven muscle car, resto-mod, or weekend warrior that sees both pavement and quarter-mile duty, this tire bridges the gap between street radials and true slick compounds.

The DR2 designation identifies Hoosier's dual-purpose drag radial compound, formulated for optimal bite off the line while maintaining safe directional stability on public roads. The P235/60R-15 fitment suits classic muscle cars, early Camaros, Novas, and Fox-body platforms—vehicles where modern tire technology meets vintage proportions. The white-letter sidewall is period-correct styling that complements restoration builds while the radial construction provides the compliance needed for comfortable highway driving. The 23-pound weight keeps unsprung mass reasonable, critical for suspension geometry and weight transfer during hard launches.

Mechanics and drag racers installing drag radial setups typically pair these with upgraded suspension bracing, rear axle reinforcement, and launch control tuning to maximize the tire's potential. The P235/60R-15 size is stock or period-correct fitment for many 1980s–1990s domestic performance platforms; confirm your vehicle's load range requirements before purchase. This tire excels in low-to-moderate horsepower drag applications and is a proven choice for consistency-focused racers seeking DOT approval at sanctioned tracks. For street/strip duty where you need both legality and launch grip, the Hoosier P235/60R-15 DR2 delivers the specialized performance compound that generic all-season radials cannot match.
