Tire 14.0/32.0-15 (F9) Phoenix Drag

The Tire 14.0/32.0-15 (F9) Phoenix Drag from Phoenix Race Tires is purpose-built for drag racing and high-performance strip applications where straight-line acceleration demands extreme grip and minimal sidewall flex. This 14-inch diameter, 32-inch overall width slick is engineered for vehicles running dedicated drag setups—whether bracket racing, bracket street, or competition-level acceleration events. The F9 compound and drag-specific construction make this tire the choice for drivers who understand that drag racing performance is fundamentally different from road racing or street driving, requiring a tire optimized for launch traction and burnout durability.

The 14.0/32.0-15 designation reflects a slick profile with minimal tread pattern—critical for maximizing contact patch during hard launches. The F9 compound is a medium-hardness racing rubber formulated to maintain consistent grip across ambient temperature ranges common at drag strips, resisting chunking and heat cycling that softer compounds experience under repeated launches and high-speed passes. The 32-inch diameter provides the rolling circumference necessary for optimal gearing and ET performance in bracket racing classes, while the 15-inch rim diameter fits classic and modern drag-specific vehicle platforms. At 36.45 lbs per tire, the weight is consistent with high-performance racing construction, indicating a reinforced sidewall structure that manages shock loads during hard launches.

This tire is ideal for serious bracket racers, vintage drag cars, and any vehicle running a dedicated drag racing suspension with slick-appropriate geometry. Installation requires proper wheel centering and balancing specific to drag applications—static balance is standard, though many racers prefer minimal balancing on slicks due to the nature of strip acceleration. These tires are competition-only and not street-legal; they belong on the track where their aggressive compound and slick design deliver the launch traction and consistency that separate winning passes from slower ETs. Compatibility extends to any 15-inch drag wheel, but confirm your vehicle's gear ratio and suspension geometry for optimal performance across your racing class.
