Default First track day done but I think I need better tires

So did my first track day at leguna and have to say I am way impressed by the capabilities of the z in Oem suspension with just the addition of stillen sway bars. So I never reached the limits of the car but the tires feel super greasy and I know they are the complete wrong tire for the car but it's what was on them, bought the car CPO and they had the wrong front size so I now have two brand new fronts and just waiting for the tears to wear through (about 4/32 now) before I change all 4. So currently I have the Michelin pilot sport a/s 3, so they are an all season even snow! Lol and a 500 tread wear. So this is my daily driver so I was looking at hankook v12, conti dw, or pole position so4 as replacements (something near the 300 wear rate so a decent compromise). Question is will I feel an improvement from 500 to 300 to make the jump now before next track event or just continue on these a/s 3 until the rears wear out (probably have another 1-2 track days left for them if I choose to use them again). I know at my level I still had more track I could use up etc and didn't hit limits but the tires just feel so greasy it doesn't feel confidence inspiring to push it to the edge, however if a 300 tire won't be that much different then I might as well continue to learn on them and get my monies worth. I know stock is a 140 but I can't do that as a daily driver.
