Beyond Just Tires – A Partner in Racing: Performance Plus Tire

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.

Drag Tire Types We Offer

  • DOT Drag Radials: Street-legal tread and radial carcass for stability at speed. Excellent on well-prepped tracks; sensitive to burnout length and pressure.
  • Bias-Ply Slicks: Flexible sidewalls for weight transfer and bite on marginal prep. Not intended for street use; superb launch compliance.
  • Front Runners (Skinnies): Narrow, lightweight fronts that reduce rolling resistance and stabilize at speed; check brake/steering clearance.

How We Match You to the Right Drag Tire

  • Power level & suspension: Higher torque cars often benefit from softer sidewalls (bias) or larger diameter for footprint length; radials reward precise chassis control.
  • Track prep & surface: Sticky, well-prepped lanes favor radials; dusty or inconsistent surfaces can favor bias slicks.
  • Gearing & trap rpm: Tire diameter changes effective gearing and shift points. We’ll model rpm at the stripe and recommend the right OD.
  • Class rules & legality: We verify DOT status where required and size limits for your class or event.
  • Street/strip needs: If you’ll drive to the track, we’ll balance road manners, hydroplaning risk, and heat buildup.

Fitment & Safety Checklist (Verified Before Shipping)

  • Wheel width/offset vs. measured section width and bulge for fender/liner and suspension clearance.
  • Overall diameter for gearing, trap rpm, and class requirements.
  • DOT vs. non-DOT compliance for tech inspection and street legality.
  • Load index and speed capability appropriate for vehicle mass and top speed at the strip.
  • Bead retention strategy: standard rims, rim screws, or beadlocks based on target PSI and torque output.
  • Lug hardware seat type and torque specs; TPMS considerations where applicable.

Setup Tips for Consistent Passes

  • Pressures: Start with manufacturer guidance; adjust in small steps for 60-foot consistency. Radials often run higher PSI than bias slicks.
  • Burnout technique: Radials prefer a short, controlled burnout to clean and warm; bias slicks typically need more heat—avoid excessive smoke that overheats tread.
  • Rollout matching: Measure circumference/rollout and pair rears within a small tolerance to minimize steering under power.
  • Heat cycles: Peak grip can shift with cycles. Track notes help you time rotations and replacements.
  • Storage: Keep cool, dry, and away from sunlight/ozone. Bag tires and avoid long-term point loads to prevent flat-spotting.

Packages & Services

  • Mounted/balanced drag wheel-and-tire packages—track-ready on arrival.
  • Model-specific pressure and burnout guidance for your tire choice.
  • Fitment consulting (front runner sizing, rear clearance, beadlocks/rim screws) and tech-check prep.

FAQs: Drag Racing Tires

Drag radial vs. bias-ply slick—what’s the difference?

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.

What tire pressures should I start with?

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.

How do I measure and match rollout?

Mark the tire and floor, roll one revolution under light load, and measure the distance. Pair rears within a tight tolerance for straight launches.

Do I need beadlocks or rim screws?

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.

How long will drag tires last?

Depends on power, burnout length, prep, and storage. Keep a log of passes, pressures, and 60-ft times to track performance over heat cycles.

Can I drive drag tires on the street?

Only if they’re DOT-labeled—and even then, expect quicker wear and reduced wet traction. Non-DOT slicks are for track use only.

What burnout technique should I use?

Short, controlled for radials; longer for bias slicks to generate heat. Avoid water past the line and don’t overheat the tread.

Do I need tubes?

Many modern slicks are tubeless; some combinations still prefer tubes. We’ll confirm based on wheel, bead, and manufacturer guidance.

Will a taller tire help ET?

Taller diameter can lengthen the footprint and alter gearing—sometimes improving traction and trap rpm. We’ll model your combo before recommending.

How should I store tires between events?

Clean, bag, and store in a cool, dark space away from ozone sources; avoid stacking heavy loads on one spot to prevent flat spots.
