My experience is
The Continental Sport Contact tires are OK road tire Personally a would not buy another set. Slowest AX times My car has a horrible push with them almost a 4 wheel drift. They were scary in the only DE I used them at.

HTR ZIII are about 1 step up but I still have a slight front push. better AX times. I used them at 1 DE in the wet a Cayman with PS2 lapped me in about 10 lap

Pilot Sport PS2 was the best track/road tire I drove but cost is high. Good AX time improvement. They felt safe in the wet at the AX. I notice a little looseness and some push after 5-6 laps running a DE event.

Hankook RS3 had better dry performance than the Pilot Sport 2 They are loud but be careful in the rain. Fastest AX time in a street rated DOT tire that doesn't cause a time penalty. They did not loose grip after 6 -7 laps in DE events
