A Drag Slick For Today’s Fastest Classes

As hard work and innovation continue to lead to faster times in some of the NHRA’s top classes, competitors need a drag slick that can keep pace. Enter the new ET Drag tire from Mickey Thompson Tires & Wheels. Designed for the fastest of the fast racers in series such as Top Dragster, Top Sportsman and Pro Mod, the ET Drag is a 35/15.0-16 race slick featuring Mickey Thompson’s next-evolution L6 compound technology for improved traction and consistency. The innovative compound translates to little or no burnout required in order to reach maximum traction, a game-changer for today’s high-horsepower applications.

“The new Mickey Thompson ET Drag race slick was developed with supercharged and turbocharged race machines in mind,” Tom Kundrik, Motorsports Manager for Mickey Thompson said. “Featuring our new L6 compound, this tire is purpose-built to provide reliable performance at the strip, resulting in better ET’s for drag racers.”

Real-world research and development give Mickey Thompson slicks the competitive edge. The ET Drag slicks are engineered for maximum traction and consistent ETs, even on 6-second cars that top 230 mph, making them suitable for nearly every drag racing application.
