Dunc,
Never ran Hoosiers, but expect their compounds to be similar to others, I tend to stay with D5 Goodyears or MT's - both mid range softness
As you say, DO5 is their softest compound, as in designed to give the most grip, super soft, etc the compromise being fast wearing.
The really soft tyre are typically used on lightweight cars or cars such as rails, no rear suspension.
Soft compound can also assist with aiding a poorer suspension set up, but shouldn't really be chosen as a band aid
DO6 is their middle range & I would imagine similar to a Goodyear D5 & what I would probably use as a substitute, after checking/chatting to see who's running similar brand.
Some grades or types of slicks can have different sidewall construction, as in stiffer for heavier cars, etc. So make sure you check what your ordering.
