Choosing wheels for your dragster
Having a lot of power requires quality tires . ProLine has brought to market tires designed specifically for drag racing . There are two rear tire options and one option for the front. Now, having these tire choices is great, but you need a rim to mount them on and Pro-Line offers you two specific rims. All tires and rims below fit your Slash 2WD or Team Associated DR10.
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.

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

These Pomona Drag Spec 2.2 rims are designed specifically for drag racing and fit perfectly with Pro-Line Hoosier Drag 2.2 2WD S3 Drag Racing front tires. They are light but strong and come with a 12mm hexagon. These wheels are reminiscent of the types of wheels you might have seen on drag cars at the Pomona track .
