I am getting conflicting information about if the M/T "3056ST" is still available.Has any one purchased a set of these recently?

I purchased a set of these at Belle Rose in March of this year.

I bought a set from McCormick racing 1 month ago.

I am at Joliet Nats. Mickey Thompson is here. They have a trailer load of tires including STs. Not sure where you are sourcing tires, but maybe Larry hodge racing tires or direct from MT would be the way to go. Seems like tires are out there.

Not trying to derail this post but I was wondering about using the 3056ST on an automatic car. Is there a negative to this.

They have a harder compound and stiffer sidewall. If that is what your car likes, maybe it would work? I doubt if anyone will have first hand experience, but nothing is better than testing. I can tell you that I have seen people put the softer sidewall softer compound tires on stick cars with less than desirable results
