Moroso DS-2 Front Drag Race Tire
The undisputed leader in front tire technology. Engineered with cutting-edge innovation and race-proven design, the DS-2 outperforms all competitors, delivering superior speed, stability, and durability. Whether you're chasing record-breaking quarter-mile times or dominating the track, this tire is the best choice for every serious racer. Here’s why the Moroso DS-2 stands alone as the top pick for performance-driven customers.
Why Moroso?
- Performance: The DS-2’s aircraft-inspired tread design minimizes rolling resistance during acceleration, ensuring maximum power transfer to the track. Its broader footprint during braking increases track contact for superior control.
- High-Speed Stability: An asymmetrical tread pattern reduces the tire’s tendency to “walk” at high speeds, providing unmatched stability tested up to 225 MPH with a 1,000 lb. load. This ensures confidence-inspiring performance at the top end.
- Lightweight Design: Crafted with 4-ply nylon construction and a high-strength bead, the DS-2 reduces unsprung weight, improving weight transfer to the rear tires during launch for faster starts and quicker ETs.
- Durability: Built with ozone-resistant compounds and 100% inspected for defects, these tires withstand the rigors of mounting, dismounting, and harsh environmental conditions, ensuring long-lasting reliability.
- Race-Proven Pedigree: Manufactured by Moroso Performance, a family-owned leader in racing innovation since 1968, the DS-2 is handcrafted in Connecticut, USA, with a legacy of quality and performance.
