NEED SOME SLICKS FOR THE AMX,
IT HAS HOOSIER DO6 COMPOUND I CAN GET THE SAME BUT D05 COMPOUND WHICH IS SOFTER ANYONE GOT A CLUE WHY THERE ARE SEVERAL TYPES
SOFTEST D05 NEXT UP D06, NEXT UP D07 WHICH IS THE HARDEST
ANY TIPS GRATEFULL

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.

Your welcome

Here you go Dunc this is a useful link one I chose for the bee

Don't forget with the new law baning 'dirty oil' most tyres cannot be imported now!
I believe Hoosier are the only ones to have re-formulated thier compounds to comply with EU regulations so far.

Doesnt affect slicks, only affects road legal tyres
