19" tyres are expensive, so just go with the Pilot Sports. They are okay on track, but won't offer the grip or longevity of the Cups (by that I mean, they will overheat and go "off" sooner as well as not offering the same grip levels). You will probably get 4-5 laps each outing (before a cooling period will be required), which is about what the brakes will do as well .

I thought you had the 18" OEM M3 wheels, where the Zestino tyres Billy uses are relatively cheap (just over £130 each).
