Wear and tear on the track is tires and brake pads. My OEM Conti tires lasted 3 track days and 4650 miles, instead of the 10k miles they are rated for. Learn how to inspect your pads visually so you can see how much material is left.

Pros: inspect pads visually
Vehicle: Honda Civic
Mileage: 4650 km

I just did exactly what you're doing -- exact same tires -- and found the Continental every bit as good as the Michelin, so I went with Continental, only in 255s in my case. Anyway, I'm really happy with my Continentals and glad I made that choice. Considering the stiffer ride that comes with wider tires the 18 Continentals proved a good choice. The handling is way better; love it.

Pros: handling is way better
Cons: stiffer ride

I was torn between these two myself but went with the dw06 because of all the reviews saying that the pilot sports wear out fast. The dw06 is quiet and great in the rain so I think I made the right choice.

Pros: quiet, great in rain
Cons: pilot sports wear fast

Continental PureContact LS. Also have them on my A3 Etron. The tires were less expensive and have much better grip and handling. They also are quieter and longer lasting.

Pros: better grip, better handling, quieter, longer lasting, less expensive
Vehicle: Audi A3

Normal GP5000s are great. Tubeless variant is a hell to get on the rim. To get tubeless tires on by hand, I go for Hutchinson tires

Pros: normal GP5000s are great
Cons: hell to get on

I had a set of Conti DWS tires that always vibrated -- at least 2 of them. I ended up replacing them all within 5K miles because two of the tires were shredded in a Home Depot parking lot -- they left a bunch of sharp metal on the ground in the back of their lot and, classic my luck, I found it. They ended up paying for new tires under their insurance but because it was a Subaru, I argued I needed to replace all 4 tires. Anyway, the new tires... no vibration anymore. It's one of the best unfortunate accidents I had, haha.

Cons: always vibrated
Vehicle: Subaru
Mileage: 5000 km
