Hoosier Drag Racing. FEATURES AND BENEFITS: High speed performance; Enhanced controllability; Summer performance; . OVERVIEW: The Hoosier Drag Racing is a high performance, summer tire made for racing vehicles.The model offers excellent high speed performance. The stronger internal structure and the rubber compound work together to boost the overall performance. The reinforced construction keeps the ideal tire shape under driving pressure. This construction does not allow the tire to deform under high speed pressure. On the other hand, the rubber compound prevents heat build-up along the tread area. This combination enables the tire's safe performance even at high speeds.The tire is easily controllable in summer weather conditions. The flat footprint closely follows the road surface at all times. The better contact with the road surface increases the tire's high speed handling. This boosts steering responsiveness and driving stability. As a result, it improves the steering response time and accuracy and stabilizes the structure. The optimal tread also upgrades the braking capability. The flat footprint creates friction between the tire and road surface, which significantly shortens the braking distance. The wide footprint and the flat tread design also upgrade the cornering capability. This tread design enables the tire's safe performance and controllability, even during its high speed performance.The Hoosier Drag Racing boosts summer weather traction. The tread design and the summer compound improve dry and wet weather grip. The tread design is able to closely follow the road surface, while the compound prevents heat build-up along the tread area during hot summer temperatures. This tread and compound guarantee the tire's exceptional summer weather performance. This specific tire model features a BIASED ply construction. Manufacturers recommend changing tires every 10 years. As long as tires are properly stored before they are sold, the year of their manufacture will not shorten their service life.
