Slicks and Hoosiers (which are basically slicks) have a less gradual breakaway I've been told, and that's why it's best to wait until a driver has experience. However I find Hoosiers just fantastic at the limits, both the A6 and R6 variants. Very controllable and predictable.

It might sound stupid, but I think the reason why you found them predictable might have to do with very stiff rear sway bar you use (Pedder's rear sway). If you used something less stiff, I think you'd find them giving less feedback, but you could possibly gain a tiny little bit of time, too.
I am sooo tempted to get R7s. I will send them an e-mail now and ask about load ratings.
