FRONT DRAG TIRES
| |
Why waste valuable horsepower "pushing" a street tire down the track? Engineered specifically for racing, Moroso Drag Race Front Tires are ultra-light to reduce unsprung weight and rolling resistance. Moroso's original Drag Special Front Tire features a unique tread design for greater high speed stability without requiring higher inflation pressures. Our new DS-2™ model uses an innovative, aircraft-inspired tread that provides low rolling resistance on acceleration, and a broader footprint during braking. Either will get you off the line and down the track faster than any other brand! And each tire is 100% inspected for defects -- even the slightest blemish causes the tire to be rejected. |

- Ozone-resistant tire compound withstands the harmful effects of the sun and other environmental conditions
- Tested to 300 MPH with 800 lb. load
