If my hypothesis corect, contrary to many opinions, that, in the dry, most 100-200tw tires are about the same and most can be mixed front to rear and they can be even be take off from street cars and still will have little affect on lap times. They may not last as long.
So far, it looks like this is the case.
So far, at less then $200 a tire, Objectively speaking, I am doing great.
Will it make me faster when I mount R7 or A7? Well that is the 64k question.

All these tires are the 'same speed' because you're not driving a lot of them to their potential. Because the fact of the matter is, they aren't all the same speed - some of them vary drastically. They might be the same speed for YOU at your current ability.
That still doesn't explain why you mismatch sets? If they are the same speed why aren't you running the same tires all around - because after all they are the same speed? The tires may still be the same speed, but how they react is different. They have different compounds and tread designs. This leads to differing working temperature ranges, peak grip levels, optimal slip angles and so on.
Again, who are you being coached by and what are their thoughts on your tire situation?
