Street-legal drag tyre Dunlop SP Sport Inferno

At the SEMA show, Dunlop has unveiled a competition drag tyre that is also street-legal, aimed at the sport-compact drag segment, allowing enthusiasts to drive to the track and test their vehicles without changing tyres. The tyre, called the “Inferno”, looks the part as well, with an image of flames on the sidewall, and a tread pattern of directional, sweeping grooves to optimise straight-line performance. The Inferno’s compound is based on the Dunlop drag racing slick and the tread pattern, carcass and mould shape were computer-designed.
