The HOOSIER 22/2.5-17 Front Tire (Part No. 18108) is a specialized drag racing tire designed for vehicles that require exceptional acceleration and grip at launch. This tire is ideal for dedicated racers and high-performance enthusiasts who focus on maximizing their first-60-foot performance and straight-line speed, making it perfect for drag strips and closed-course competitions.
Featuring a 22-inch overall diameter and a 2.5-inch width, the tire's design optimizes weight transfer and traction during hard launches. The specialized compound and tread design enhance sidewall flex, allowing for better load transfer, while the narrow width reduces unsprung weight, concentrating grip into a smaller contact patch. This construction ensures predictable breakaway characteristics and consistent performance across multiple heating cycles, crucial for competitive racing.
The HOOSIER 22/2.5-17 is particularly suited for dedicated drag racing platforms, vintage competition vehicles, and purpose-built racecars that require a 17-inch rim diameter for optimal suspension geometry. Weighing approximately 4.62 lbs, it minimizes rotational mass, which is essential for improving launch response in acceleration-focused builds.
