Its compound and construction focus on delivering race-proven technology for strip use while meeting Department of Transportation marking requirements.
This tire features Hoosier's redesigned drag racing compound and radial construction specifically engineered for competition classes requiring street-legal certification. However, it carries strict usage limitations - it's explicitly not intended for highway use, storage in freezing temperatures, or operation on public roads due to safety concerns including potential loss of traction and vehicle control.
