33.0/17-16 Drag Tire

The HOOSIER 33.0/17-16 drag tire is a purpose-built slick engineered for dedicated drag racing and strip competition. This tire represents the pinnacle of straight-line acceleration performance, designed for vehicles running dedicated quarter-mile or eighth-mile courses where maximum traction and launch consistency are non-negotiable. Whether you're campaigning a doorslammer, pro mod, or street-legal drag machine, the 33.0/17-16 delivers the compound technology and construction necessary to harness serious horsepower at the starting line.

HOOSIER's drag slick construction prioritizes sidewall stiffness and contact patch consistency—critical factors when launching against full throttle torque loads. The 33-inch overall diameter and 17-inch wheel diameter specification accommodates popular drag racing rim widths, while the lack of a traditional aspect ratio provides the reduced rolling resistance and sidewall flex characteristics that separate drag compounds from street tires. The slick tread pattern maximizes rubber-to-asphalt contact area, eliminating grooves that would compromise grip during initial bite.

Weighing 44.54 lbs, this tire is relatively light for its size, reducing unsprung mass and rotational inertia—measurable advantages in 60-foot consistency and elapsed time. Racers running nitrous-assisted, turbocharged, or naturally aspirated high-displacement platforms benefit most from this tire's load capacity and heat management characteristics. The 33.0/17-16 drag tire is designed to meet the demands of serious drag racers looking for optimal performance.
