Are you in pursuit of that competitive edge on the drag strip? Look no further—Performance Plus Tire is your trusted ally. Our professional yet warm approach takes you through an array of drag racing tires designed to thrust you past the competition while granting unparalleled reliability and handling. Our drag racing tires are a testament to our dedication to high performance. Crafted for those heart-pounding moments when every millisecond counts, these tires are the silent heroes behind new records and legendary runs. With a fusion of advanced technology and rugged endurance.
Drag racing demands predictable launches, straight-line stability, and repeatable 60-foot times. Our drag catalog spans DOT drag radials, bias-ply slicks, and front “runner” tires so you can tailor sidewall, compound, and diameter to your car, class, and track prep. We’ll help you choose the right setup for your weight transfer, power level, and surface—so you can focus on the tree, not your tires.
Ready to chase your new PB? Explore our drag lineup and get a setup tailored to your car, class, and local track conditions.
Radials have stiffer sidewalls for stability and reward clean prep and chassis control; bias slicks use softer sidewalls for weight transfer and bite on less-than-ideal prep.
It varies by tire and weight. Radials often start higher than bias slicks. We’ll recommend a baseline and help you tune using 60-ft times and contact patch wear.
Mark the tire and floor, roll one revolution under light load, and measure the distance. Pair rears within a tight tolerance for straight launches.
If you run very low PSI or make big torque, beadlocks or rim screws help prevent tire slip on the rim. We’ll advise based on your setup and rules.
Depends on power, burnout length, prep, and storage. Keep a log of passes, pressures, and 60-ft times to track performance over heat cycles.
Only if they’re DOT-labeled—and even then, expect quicker wear and reduced wet traction. Non-DOT slicks are for track use only.
Short, controlled for radials; longer for bias slicks to generate heat. Avoid water past the line and don’t overheat the tread.
Many modern slicks are tubeless; some combinations still prefer tubes. We’ll confirm based on wheel, bead, and manufacturer guidance.
Taller diameter can lengthen the footprint and alter gearing—sometimes improving traction and trap rpm. We’ll model your combo before recommending.
Clean, bag, and store in a cool, dark space away from ozone sources; avoid stacking heavy loads on one spot to prevent flat spots.
