bodyChoosing wheels for your dragster
Having a lot of power requires high-quality tires.ProLine has brought tires to market that are designed specifically for drag racing. There are two rear tire options and one front tire option.

Hooiser Drag 2.2" S3 front tires
Although they are not as important as the rear tires, it makes sense to choose the right tires for the entire car. These are Pro-Line Hoosier Drag 2.2 2WD S3 front tires .
Hooiser Drag 2.2/3.0" S3 rear tires
The perfect complement to Hoosier Drag front tires are these Hoosier Drag rear tires for drag racing.

Big Daddy Drag Slick 2.2/3.0" MC rear tires
The last tire is also the newest in Pro-Line's dragster product line. It is the Big Daddy Wide Drag Slick. As its name suggests, the Big Daddy is a wider tire and will give your dragster much more grip. It has a 2-inch wide contact patch, which is 25% wider than standard slick tires. So if you're driving on surfaces with little grip, this is the ideal tire.
