Jim,

in other discussions, it has been suggested that a running production changed occurred with "something" about that tire. [no body knows, just suggested]

Like you posted, I have experience with the tire not just on my S-10 but other packages.

The past experience handicapped me from testing lower air pressure. Yet, can't argue with what works.

A bit more feedback, after three frustrating outings I walked to the starting line and watched the tires of other cars with similar weight and performance. The cars that were dead hooking had a pronounced sidewall wrinkle. Then watching my truck video it had none to very slight wrinkle.

Back at my parking spot the racer next to me had the same tire in a similar package. He was running 8 pounds.

Go figger.
