What is the build difference of the 3056st to the 3056? Is it just compound or constructed different as well?

The sidewalls, although not really a stiff sidewall, are stiffer than a normal slick. I also believe that the tread compound is a bit harder.

That is what I have understood as well. That being said, if you have an automatic car that hooks with the st tire would the stiffer sidewall help with reaction and performance? Will the st still grow as much as the non st?

Next time will be in 2 weeks I will defiantly try to get the 1 revolution and see how it pays off. I have rear shocks set second softest setting I was thinking of stiffing them think it would help 60 ft times?

We have been testing off an on with a clutch set up that we can run radials. In the right conditions it can be good. The cool track and whatever led you to dead hook can be reason it works now. If you race on normal summer conditions be prepared for disappointment if you think it will work when the track gets hot or you just have too much hit to hold it. It is a very very fine line. When the radials start to spin you can go from a 1.40 60 foot to 1.70. 😁

I think that radials can be faster someday. I have gone 10.70's in E stick with them. But I don't have a big enough tuning window with them to leave them on all the time. Too easy to roast them on the line for me anyway.

Let us know how it goes and take video if you can.

Has anyone used Phoenix bias slicks on a stick car with any luck?
