For daily driving, PS2 is not a favorite of mine at all. It is terrible in the cold, no better in the hot/dry, reminds me of the current P-zero that feels a generation old. So very likely, either Michelin will be a great improvement.

I think the PS4 vs. PSS debate is an open one unless I get direct experience or hear from those I trust. Just that time goes by, newer "must" be better is not enough for my subjective. PS2 was a generation (5-6 years?) newer than the PS.

While the PS2 recorded high g numbers in good conditions, came standard on many good cars (including my 06 Cayman S), I haven't had enough of a back to back between it and the PS (the V-design), the Goodyear F1 or a Potenza of some sort that it was clearly better. In fact, in the real world of the Northeast, in my view it was worse to those three in many ways in sub-optimal conditions.

That is why I approach the PS4 with suspicion until first hand or reliable second hand experience. Especially as the PSS is so stellar.
