Mickey Thompson’s new ET Drag
tires take aim at NHRA Top Drag-
ster, Top Sportsman & Pro Mod series.
As hard work and innovation con-
tinue to lead to faster times in some
of the NHRA’s top classes, competi-
tors need a drag slick that can keep
pace. Enter the new ET Drag tire from
Mickey Thompson Tires & Wheels.
Designed for the fastest of the fast
racers in series such as Top Dragster,
Top Sportsman and Pro Mod, the
ET Drag is a 35/15.0-16 race slick
featuring Mickey Thompson’s next-
evolution L6 compound technology
for improved traction and consis-
tency. The innovative compound
translates to little or no burnout
required in order to reach maximum
traction, a game-changer for today’s
high-horsepower applications.
“The new Mickey Thompson ET
Drag race slick was developed with
supercharged and turbocharged
race machines in mind,” Tom Kun-
drik, Motorsports Manager for
Mickey Thompson said. “Featuring
our new L6 compound, this tire is
purpose-built to provide reliable
performance at the strip, resulting
in better ET’s for drag racers.”
Real-world research and develop-
ment give Mickey Thompson slicks
the competitive edge. The ET Drag
slicks are engineered for maximum
traction and consistent ETs, even
on 6-second cars that top 230 mph,
making them suitable for nearly ev-
ery drag racing application.
