29.0/12-15 Drag Tire

The HOOSIER 29.0/12-15 drag tire is purpose-built for dedicated drag racing and quarter-mile competition where maximum traction and consistent launch performance define your success. This tire is engineered for vehicles that demand absolute grip off the line—whether you're running a dedicated drag car, supercharged muscle car, or serious street performance build.

Unlike street tires that balance wear, comfort, and wet-weather safety, the 29.0/12-15 drag tire prioritizes one metric above all others: repeatable, predictable traction at launch and through the critical first fifty feet of acceleration. The 29-inch overall diameter and aggressive 12.5-inch width deliver the contact patch geometry that serious drag racers demand, minimizing sidewall deflection during the violent weight transfer of launch. The DOT-approved construction allows competition use while maintaining street legality for transportation to the track.

HOOSIER's compound formulation in this drag-specific design uses a stickier rubber blend that generates superior bite on prepped or slick racing surfaces, though this rubber will wear faster than street compounds—a deliberate trade-off because durability over hundreds of miles matters far less than winning by tenths of a second. The 27.9 lb weight per tire reflects the reinforced carcass construction needed to handle the extreme lateral and longitudinal forces generated during hard acceleration and hard braking from high speeds. Buyers should verify fitment against their vehicle specifications.
