Dunlop 45246215 Dragmax DOT Rear Motorcycle Tire 190/50ZR17

The Dunlop Dragmax is a purpose-built DOT-legal rear motorcycle tire engineered specifically for drag racing on metric and V-twin motorcycles. Made in the USA at the same facility and on the same machines used to produce MotoAmerica road race slicks, this tire delivers professional-level performance for both amateur and professional drag racers.

Maximum Grip Technology (MGT):

• Ultra-soft compound specifically developed for drag racing - the softest street compound ever produced at Dunlop's Buffalo, NY plant
• Extremely flat profile creates a massive footprint for maximum traction
• N-TEC radial construction with compliant cut-breaker design and continuously-wound aramid fiber
• Jointless Band (JLB) and Jointless Tread (JLT) technology for consistent launches and stability
• Designed to run at very low pressures (starting around 11 PSI) for optimal grip

Performance Features:

• Wider and flatter than typical hypersport tires for increased contact patch
• Minimizes centrifugal growth to maintain consistent footprint and reduce de-beading risk
• Lightweight construction with reduced tread gauge to minimize unsprung and rotational weight
• Maximum feel and stability from the launch through the traps
