Tire 12.2/31.25-15 (F9) Phoenix Drag (Wide)

The Tire 12.2/31.25-15 (F9) Phoenix Drag (Wide) is a purpose-built drag racing tire engineered for straight-line acceleration and launch traction on dedicated competition vehicles. Designed for drivers who demand maximum grip off the line, this wide-profile tire delivers the compound stiffness and sidewall geometry necessary to handle violent weight transfer and extreme RPM launches. Whether you're running a dedicated drag strip platform or a hybrid street/strip build, this tire addresses the specific demands of quarter-mile acceleration where traditional street tires fall short.

The F9 compound formulation is optimized for adhesion at full throttle, with a tread pattern engineered to minimize rolling resistance during hard launches while maintaining structural integrity under sustained acceleration loads. The wide footprint—indicated by the 12.2/31.25 sizing—distributes launch forces across a larger contact patch, reducing wheelspin and improving power transfer to asphalt. The 15-inch wheel diameter suits vehicles with raised suspensions or custom chassis setups common in drag racing platforms. At 35.58 pounds per tire, the weight is consistent with performance drag radials, supporting quick transient response and predictable handling characteristics through the driving event.

These tires are ideal for bracket racers, dedicated drag strip competitors, and builders pursuing maximum launch traction on competition-only or race-purpose vehicles. The Phoenix Drag (Wide) profile is unsuitable for street driving; reserve it exclusively for track environments where drag-specific compounds and minimal tread void patterns are legal and safe. Verify wheel fitment before purchase—the 15-inch specification demands proper rim availability and brake clearance in your particular platform. Installation by experienced tire technicians is strongly recommended to ensure balanced mounting and proper sidewall seating under high-load conditions.
