Default rear tyre traction on sugared track

Ok resolved my own query thanks to google and same advice from Calvin back in 2011, history repeats itself - was gluing up some Shimizu soft slicks last night.....

My normal go to rear tyre for low traction is the small Shimizu treaded, which resolved the corner tracking issue but made the car wiggle alarmingly down the main straights in the heat. I finally settled on some Team Powers at the rear for the final but was off the pace and not as sure footed as before, at all.

The obvious solution is to revert to S Grips and start again but the amazingly low rolling resistance of the Ride 60D has made me greedy.

Anyone else run in to similar issues with Rides on sugar and can advise?

Kind regards
