From the NHRA 2012 Rulebook:

"Section 10A, page 9 Stock Cars

TIRES
Street-type or drag slick tires, maximum 9-inch tread width. Tires
may not be altered from tire manufacturer’s original design or
pattern. Size of tire (new) must not exceed 9-inch wide x 30-inch
diameter (94-inch circumference). Tires may not exceed 10 inches
wide regardless of wear. Front tires must have a full street pattern
and must measure a minimum of 4 1/2 inches on ground. Tire tread
may not extend outside fender; maximum clearance between side
wall and body is 3 inches. Slicks permitted on FWD cars. All-wheeldrive
vehicles must have treaded front tires. Recapped/retreaded
tires prohibited. See General Regulations 5:1."
