Continental is the only way to go, period. I tried the PilotSports - junk. OEM's - junk.
Pros: only way to go
Cons: PilotSports - junk

Better tires. Specifically yung Michelin Pilot Sport 5s. Sobrang BIG difference sa grip, handling & confidence on the road.
Pros: improved grip, better handling
I drive my 240 daily to my job at a ski resort in the Rockies. I've had a number of different snow tires and really like my current Toyo Observe G-3's with studs. 2x 80lb sandbags in the trunk and it's a great performer, very predictable. The Toyo's are quiet as well.
Pros: great performer, very predictable
Cons: none
Vehicle:

The Michelins are on my stock wheels and primarily for daily driving. However, I have tracked it probably 6 times now and they're still going strong. They're the only tires I haven't chunked, and I don't baby them. They seem to lose pace instead of keeping it and overheating. You should get 6+ days/weekends out of the PS4S as a beginner.
Pros: still going strong, no chunking, good longevity, don't overheat
Cons: lose pace
Vehicle:
Audi RS3
I run PS4S's on my 2019 mustang, which is a pretty heavy car. Intermediate HPDE. I have 6 days on my current set and expect 2-4 more days before they're totally thrashed. They are a superb beginner tire (lots of good feedback, predictable grip). I find the key to making them last is to not completely scorch them, I usually limit my sessions to 15-20 mins and always take 2-3 laps around the paddock to help them cool gently. Once they start getting greasy (you will notice both a change in feel and a drop off in lap times) its time to either come in or take a few cooldown laps.
Pros: superb beginner tire, good feedback, predictable grip, decent longevity

PS4S is arguably the best beginner tire. It’s great for now. Driving at 7-8/10ths as you will be as a beginner for awhile, it will last at least half a dozen days probably more
Pros: best beginner tire, great for now, good longevity
PS4S is a great tire with 300 tread wear, you won't be beating any times but I get them to last 7+ track days on the M340 which I find hard to beat. They're not a dedicated track tire, however, if you're just starting I think it's a great choice as they're chatty, great grip and good longevity.
Pros: great grip, good longevity, chatty, great for beginners
Cons: not for beating times

Had the Contis, didn't like the comfort and treadwear was bad.
Loving the Pilot AS4.
Pros: loving the Pilot AS4
Cons: bad comfort and treadwear
Just paid $540 for one 21” Pirelli tire from “Discount” Tire ????
Pros: null
Cons: expensive tire
My tiger paws are terrible, brand new and now I can’t launch my car without it spinning for at least 2 seconds. Another thing is 260 was a comfortable speed on my old worn out to shit Perelli’s, now I get around 145 in these tiger paws and I get a gnarly death wobble.
Cons: terrible, death wobble
