M/T 3054 or 3054ST?

Hello, I am a bracket racer but have learned a lot from this forum. I bracket race a 65 Comet with a 351C, Jerico with 3.08 first and a 4.86 gear. Leaf spring/ladder bar car. Currently runs 10.50's at 127 mph. My rear tires are probably 12 years old and pretty much done. I do not race a lot. I can only fit a 9" tire and have been using the regular 3054. I see they have a 3054 ST which is a harder compound tire.

I am trying to determine if ST tire would be better? I am also wondering why a harder compound would be more stick friendly? My local track starting line is not that great.

Any advice appreciated. Not opposed to Hoosier or Goodyear.
