Shinko – Hook-Up Pro Drag Radial Tire (Rear)

Overview

HOOK-UP PRO! All of the great features of the original Hook-Up, but lighter, faster and even better at the top-end of the track! Competition-developed design allows for more horsepower to be used throughout the run due to a larger contact patch at high speed. Enhanced carcass resists distortion, chunking, and the stresses of centrifugal force to maintain a more constant footprint.

Key Features

• The ultimate DOT drag tire
• Due to the soft compound of this tire, it is not for use on dynamometers!

Why We Like It

• Radial construction keeps the contact patch stable as speed and lean angle build, and runs cooler on long days than a comparable bias tire.
• DOT approved, which means it is street legal not a closed-course tire you have to trailer to.
• Offered in soft compound, so you can match rubber to surface instead of settling for one all-round option.
• Top speed rating in this range is W (168 mph), so the rating is not the limiting factor on most bikes it fits.
• Tubeless throughout the range fewer parts, and a roadside plug is a realistic repair.

Why You’d Like It

• You are chasing 60-foot times and want the tire to hook rather than spin away the launch.
• It fits 17-inch wheels.
• This is the rear fitment pair it with the matching front if you are replacing both ends.
• Pricing runs $259.21 to $277.06 depending on size.
