If you're happy with 209GPs (which I think are toss) then why are you thinking of slicks for? Yes- they grip massively better, last longer are more consistent but...there is a but....

My experience with them racing is that compound choice is critical, tyre warmers are a must and a different suspension set-up is sometimes required because they feed more force via the increased grip back into your chassis.
