Running Michelin Pilot Sport 4S on my Model 3 Performance for the past 18 months - absolute game changers. Grip is phenomenal in both dry and wet conditions. They transformed the car's handling, especially with corner entry stability. Yes, they're expensive (~$1,200 for a set) and I'm getting about 20k miles from them with regular track days, but the confidence they inspire makes them worth every penny. You'll lose 3-5% range compared to stock, but that's the price for proper performance.

If youre looking for something that hits that sweet spot between performance and actually lasting more than a year, I gotta mention the Continental ExtremeContact DWS 06 Plus. Honestly, for most people doing spirited driving on public roads, these are plenty. Theyre way cheaper than the high-end summer tires, usually around $900-$1000 a set, and the treadwear is much better. You get a solid 50k mile warranty which is huge for a heavy car like the Model 3. Another solid choice if you want to keep the EV-specific features but save some cash is the Hankook Ventus S1 evo3 ev. They handle the instant torque really well and stay pretty quiet on the highway. Ngl, the ultra-high performance summer tires are great for the track, but for daily use where you still want to have some fun without burning through rubber every 15k miles, the Continentals are hard to beat for the price.

For those who occasionally track their M3 but still daily drive, consider the Bridgestone Potenza Sport. They're newer to the market but deliver exceptional performance, particularly steering response which feels more immediate than even the PS4S. They're also slightly more progressive at the limit, which I prefer when pushing hard. They run about the same price as the Michelins but seem to handle heat cycles better for repeated track use.
