How do you find the HP+ pads in combination with those DOT-R class RC-1 tires? Too little pad or just enough?

I had HP+ pads with cheap UHP tires, and it was too aggressive of a pad for those tires, they would lock up very easily. I felt that moving up to a stickier EXP class tire (RS3, RE71R etc.) would be the perfect combination of pad and tire.

I also know a lot of time attack guys in my area that are using the DTC pads with EXP class tires. I would think that is too much pad for those tires, but they all seem to like the combo. Perhaps they use them for the increased fade resistance.

Would DTC pads, or anything more aggressive, be a better pairing with your DOT-R tires?
