why are softer compound tyres faster than hard

but are they? I'd think softer compound would mean better grip but not necessarily more possible speed

I think it depends on road surface though. There's that chart that shows that as surfaces get rougher, the point at which increasing pressure stops making you faster and suddenly makes you much slower goes down.

True but that's about pressure in the tyre rather than softness of the tyre compound
