Drag Racing Tires

Tires focused on maximizing acceleration traction and lowering ETs. Limited cornering capability and not for wet conditions

Designed to provide drag racing looks and traction, Drag Racing Radials were developed for drivers looking for drag strip performance from tires that are streetable.* However, like all Track & Competition DOT tires, they are not intended to be driven on extremely wet roads with standing water where there is the risk of hydroplaning. Additionally, they should not be driven, stored nor serviced in near- or below-freezing temperatures.

From Our Test Track

Popular Tires for America's Most Popular Vehicles – 2025 Test 834:04

The Crossover, or CUV, is hands-down the most popular vehicle in America. Last year in our CUV test, we used the Alfa Romeo Stelvio to test all-season and all-weather touring tires. This year, the field expanded to include all-terrain and performance truck products, representing the full range of tires drivers are installing on these vehicles. Obviously, with a test this diverse, it’s not so much about which one tire rises to the top, but rather how each category brings its own strengths to the table. When comparing multiple tires from one category, it's how they stack up against each other. So, sit back, relax, and enjoy Test 8!
