BMW E92 M3 Tire Review Highlights

Writing about the Goodyear Eagle F1 SuperSport R given 69% (265-35-19-)
Driving on mostly country roads for 1000 spirited miles
Very good tire in terms of feeling and progressivity. Easy to slide and very predictable. Low traction by low temperature (below 15° Celsius), needs proper warm up to grip. Not faster than road speed limits under the rain, but not scary. Wears quickly if you use them often on the limit, which the tire pushes you to do!

About as good as you get for a UHP tire. Excellent dry grip and wet grip.

Writing about the Hankook Ventus RS4 given 91% (265-40-18-W)
Driving on a combination of roads for 3 spirited miles
Overall impression
I've used them for 2 autocross/gymkhana sessions and 1 race day. In terms of outright performance, it is up there with the likes of RE71R. It is nearly 40% off the price of RE71R where I live, you can surely guess my future purchase decision.
Dry grip
Like many extreme performance tires, you do need to know an optimal cold pressure and put enough heat into it in order to feel the grip. RS4s are quite resistant to heat, and lateral grip is one of a kind as it does have a thick sidewall. Grip was consistent over two hours of moderately paced race day.
Wet grip
Wet grip is phenomenal and will save you from 100km/h+ to dead stop in a very short distance without locking up the tires. It quickly regains grip from an oversteer in 3rd gear as long as you sensibly modulate throttle. Just make sure you have enough tire pressure as tires will not heat up to an optimal temperature on a cold wet surface.
Wear
What impressed me most was the tire wear as I've done enough donuts during the autocross sections and race day was essentially a 2-hour endurance race. Tires still show over 90% of life left. However, it should be noted that ambient temperature was around 10~20.
Comfort
It will have road noise (like your hub bearing is gone) but it isn't as bad as RS-RR I've briefly used. Moderate to loud music volume will hide them.

Driving on a combination of roads for 5000 spirited miles
I had sport contact 5 on my m3 when I bought it, and I have had them on my previous 330ci and did rate them, so replaced them with BMW recommended super sports. A much better tire, my previous favorite was Goodyear eagle f1 assy 2 and these are even better than them. Far better grip on wet and dry. I cannot really comment on the wear as I have driven quite aggressively and have only covered 5k miles.

Black and round. Easy to break traction with 400hp. Progressively slides. My requirements fulfilled.

Great looking tire, lots of grip but wear was terrible. Noticeable more expensive than the Continental equivalent. I have not noticed a difference between the two makes yet.
