Description
The Hoosier DR2 is a drag radial tyre engineered for maximum straight-line traction. Built around an extremely soft compound and a strong sidewall, the DR2 hooks under hard acceleration and stays stable through high-speed straight-line runs on prepped drag surfaces.
DOT-labelled but race-focused, the DR2 is built for the drag strip and high-horsepower street/strip builds — not for circuit use, not for the wet, not for daily driving.
Key Features
- Radial construction with strong sidewall — stability under acceleration
- Extremely soft DR2 compound — high traction, optimised for launch grip
- Semi-slick tread, optimised for dry drag strip conditions
- Maintains contact patch under high torque and power
- DOT-labelled for transport (not for daily driving)
Best For
- Drag racing
- Roll racing
- High horsepower street/strip builds
Not Suitable For
- Circuit racing
- Track days
- Wet conditions
