CLASS RACER FORUM - View Single Post - 3074S M/T, a confusing and frustrating happening

I could have jumped in here a little sooner on this subject.
I run with the Pro Stick group in the Mid Atlantic area. The 3074ST tire is run by well over half the cars in the group.
I remember most guys would run 10- 12 lbs or more in those tires with good results. Usually adding air would make them work better. Then at the beginning of last year, the guys started to complain the tires weren't working. So they started playing with the air pressure and noticed they now work better at lower (7.5-9lb) of air pressure. A phone call to M/T confirmed that they did make a change in construction and we were told this tire was 'using Pro Stock technology' and it uses less air to work properly.

This is the story I got, true or false. I do know these tires work better at a lower air pressure than years past.
