Shinko Tire R003a Hook Up Drag Rear 180/55ZR17 73W Radial TL for Drag Racing

The Shinko Tire R003a Hook Up Drag Rear 180/55ZR17 73W Radial TL is designed specifically for high-performance drag racing applications. This tire features a lightweight, extremely flexible carcass that enhances traction and acceleration, making it ideal for competitive drag events. The softest street compound available from Shinko ensures maximum grip on the drag strip, providing racers with superior launch and acceleration capabilities. Its tread pattern and profile are engineered to meet the demands of drag racing, offering optimal contact with the track surface for improved performance.
Constructed with an Aramid belt, this DOT-approved tire is built for safety and durability during racing conditions. However, it is important to note that the tire is not intended for public road or street use, due to its specialized design and soft compound. For a matched look and performance, pair the R003a with the Shinko 003 Stealth front tire, which features a similar tread pattern.
Because of its soft compound, this tire should not be used on dynamometers, as it may not withstand the stresses involved. The tire provides excellent traction and handling for drag racing enthusiasts seeking a high-quality, race-specific rear tire that delivers consistent and reliable performance on the strip. Whether you are upgrading your current setup or preparing for a race, the Shinko R003a Hook Up Drag Rear tire is engineered to meet the rigorous demands of competitive drag racing.
