Another Rudy.

And the 710 lasts longer than an R6 IMO.

I don't think the C91 comes in 315/17.

The R6 drops off real fast when it is done, but the V710 seems to lose a little of its edge and then it stays pretty consistent. Its a great tire for HPDE because it lasts, but for overall grip I think the A6 wins.

Correct.
275/35/18 is as large as they go and they're darn near impossible to find.

The A6 is a great tire for autocross which is what it's designed for, but you need to have deep pockets to run it for HPDE. The 710's fall off gracefully.

Default chassis set ups?
So we have a ranking of Hoosier's, Kumho's and Hankook's

What is your experience with optimizing chassis setup for the 3 brands?

I prefer the 710 for HPDE. The one time I tried the A6 they fell off bad after 15-20 minutes, pushed out, and put me in the bushes. 710s never gave up through a 25 minute run like that for me.

I'm confused. TireRack website says:
Most sizes of the Ventus Z214 are available in two high-grip tread compounds, with the C51/Medium compound focused on track use and the C71/Soft compound tuned for autocross competition

So what is a C91?
