I make a direct comparison every time I drive my 99 and 02. The 99 has the Continental Extreme Contact Sports on it and the 02 has Michelin Pilot Super Sports. I'm like you, I take exit and on-ramps with extreme speed and I can CONFIDENTLY say the Michelin tires grip better around the corners. I've also had other tires in the past and none grip like the Super Sports, not even the so called sticky BFG KDW-2s I had on my 98. I cannot speak on the PS 4S tires as I've yet to own a pair.

I don't understand the debate.
There can't be one tire that's best for everyone.
We have different terrain, climate, suspension set-ups and needs.
The only comparison most people can make is there old worn tires to brand new ones.
Vendors web sights have plenty of user reviews for anyone shopping but there seems to be a consensus here of a few popular brands.
I think the real issue is the lack of choices for "17 tires.
