Default Any real difference between Michelin Pilot Sport 2 and Pilot Sport Ribs?

I need new tires and wonder if one of these would be better. I do mostly street driving (rarely in the rain) and a few days of track and autocross each year. I'm looking for the best grip. Any info would be great. Scott

No real difference. Basically the same tire with a different tread.

Is one better in the rain than the other?

Usually, a unidirectional tread does a better job dissipating water. But, my PS2's have performed well in the rain too.
