STX is now for the 2nd string Civic guys to get more drivers in an ST car.

Not only looks like, they did!
And Hoosier takes, and Khumo takes and...
Toyo did take 3 of the 5 trophy places in ST, but Bridgestone took 3 of the 5 trophy places in STS.
If your getting at "Toyo" being the must have tire.... time will tell, but it looks promising. But to some extent (fill in the blank brand) being the winning tire is a self fulfilling prophesy. If the best drivers are on that brand, it's likely it will place at the top.
Many a generalization can be drawn when the "top" drivers gravitate to any one thing (car make, tire, modified part, setup ect.) Sometimes it's reality, sometimes it's just easier to follow a winning combination than trying a new one.

Just making an observation as Toyo was usually reserved by track guys and never was a serious auto-x tire until they stepped up their game. Now it's either Toyos, Bridgestones, Yokohama and now Dunlop.....and let's not forget the old standby....Kumho (for ST tires)

HS was won by a 17 year old kid on a mis-matched set of Hankooks in the "wrong" car. Wonder what would happen if he was driving with Will in the Pro at El Toro? ;)

True! But from last Sunday's results in SD, it's not just Ken.
