Phoenix Racing Tires: A Drag Racing Legacy

Few names carry as much weight on the drag strip as Phoenix Racing Tires. Formerly rooted in Firestone, Phoenix Race Tires was created after Firestone exited the drag racing market for oval and street racing tires. Rather than let that storied performance DNA disappear, Phoenix engineers improved upon Firestone's original molds and compounds to deliver perfectly matched drag racing slicks. Today, the brand continues that mission as a division of Coker Tire Company, devoted to providing great tires for drag racers with a wide range of bias ply and radial slicks geared toward the Sportsman drag racer.

Built for the Strip, Proven by Champions

Every tire in the Phoenix lineup is engineered with a singular focus: maximum traction off the line. Made in the USA and proven winners, Phoenix slicks and front runners are available from the world's leading supplier of collector tires and wheels. Phoenix offers drag slicks in bias ply and radial construction, as well as DOT-approved front runners to fit 15- and 17-inch wheels. Whether you're launching a classic bracket car or a late-model muscle machine, there's a Phoenix fitment for your application.

One of the brand's most respected qualities is consistency. Phoenix goes through a rigorous technical process to closely match tires so you get the same tire on both sides of your race car — a major benefit in drag racing. Phoenix tires are known within racing communities for providing reliable launch behavior that helps drivers maintain predictable elapsed times across multiple passes.

A Tire for Every Class

Phoenix drag race tires are commonly used on dedicated drag racing vehicles built for competitive acceleration, including bracket racing cars, Sportsman class vehicles, and purpose-built drag racing machines designed to perform on prepared track surfaces. The brand is also frequently seen on nostalgia drag racing vehicles and classic muscle cars converted for drag competition.

The product line has expanded over the years to serve modern performance vehicles as well. The 10.5/28.0-17 tire is designed specifically for late-model high-performance cars, offering fitment on 17-inch wheels — applying to late-model Mustangs, Camaros, Challengers, and more domestic and import performance vehicles with large disc brake packages.

Whether you're competing in NHRA Sportsman classes, grassroots bracket racing, or no-prep events, explore the full lineup of Phoenix Racing Tires drag racing tires to find the right slick or front runner for your build.
