Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use this tire on the street or highway?

No — this tire is designed exclusively for drag racing and is not suitable for street use or public roads.

Can I run this tire on a dynamometer?

No — due to the extremely soft compound, this tire should not be used on dyno equipment as it will not perform correctly and may be damaged.

What front tire pairs with this Hook-Up rear?

Combine with the Shinko 003 Stealth front tire in size 120/70ZR17 for a matching tread pattern and drag-focused setup.

Is this DOT approved?

Yes, it carries DOT approval, but approval does not mean it is street-legal or suitable for street use — it is engineered exclusively for drag racing.

Why is this tire so soft?

The soft compound provides maximum grip and launch traction for drag strip acceleration, at the cost of durability on regular riding.
