New Tires Help

I posted in the wheels/tires forum but no responses.

What tires should I look at to replace the Michelin Super Sports? They are back-ordered for months and I want at least fronts before a 1500 mile round trip that includes track days. BMW CCA O'fest FYI....

The Performance Center uses Conti's but I don't know the specific model.

I may not like the mixed performance on track but may not have a choice.
My outside edges are shot, especially drivers side.

I believe it's the Extreme Contact DW.

I think it's actually the ContiSportContact 5P that they use. Has pretty good ratings on tire rack..

I think the best alternative would be the Continental ExtremeContact DW.

Okay...
So I never mounted the Conti's and ordered the Pilot Supersport.
The tires are still on back-order with NO eta. Possibly no more produced in 265/35x20!!!!

I'm getting the Conti's installed.
