The Shinko Hook-Up Drag Radial Tire is built for maximum performance on the drag strip, featuring a lightweight, ultra-flexible carcass and Shinko's softest compound for unbeatable traction off the line. Its race-tuned tread pattern and profile are designed specifically for drag racing, while Aramid belting adds strength without sacrificing grip. DOT approved but not for street use, this tire delivers serious hook-up for serious racers—and should not be used on dynamometers due to its ultra-soft compound. Pair it with the Shinko 003 Stealth Front Tire for a matching setup.
Engineered exclusively for straight-line domination, this rear tire hooks hard from the line through the traps.
