Soft vs Hard Tire Compounds: What Racers Get Wrong

What’s the REAL difference between soft and hard tire compounds — and does a “softer” tire automatically have more grip? In this episode of Behind The Rubber, Alex Taylor sits down with Jason Moulton, Motorsports Director at Mickey Thompson, to break down how tire compounds actually work on street/strip and drag cars. Jason explains the differences between R1, R2, and X5 compounds, why DOT radials all run a variation of the R2 compound, and how a “harder” compound can sometimes produce more grip than a soft one depending on construction and tire loading. If you’ve ever tried to pick a compound from a chart and felt confused, this will clear it up instantly. 🔗 LINKS Shop Mickey Thompson Tires: https://www.mickeythompsontires.com Follow Mickey Thompson:   / mickeythompsontires   Follow Alex Taylor:   / alextaylorracing   Subscribe for more Tire Talk with Mickey Thompson Tires and Wheels! #MickeyThompsonTires #TireTalk #TireCompounds #DragRacing #StreetStrip #MTTireTech #AlexTaylor #JasonMoulton #DragRacingTech #DragTire #DragRacer #Compounds
