Default Michelin Pilot Sport (PS2) vs Super Sport

Folks

Turbo needs new shoes. Can anyone share experience with Michelin Pilot- Super Sports over the OEM spec Pilot Sport (PS2-N2)?

Driving impressions would be much appreciated. Handling, noise, wear...etc.

Thank you in advance!

More Specifics...

Tires are for a 2012 Turbo S (Cpe).

PS2's are on backorder for who knows how long...

The pilot super sport was developed after the PS2, newer tech and has very good grip, great wet performance, and very smooth, quiet road manners. Unfortunately it seems rear sized PSSs are on back order too until Nov.

I've had both & liked the super sports better than the stock tires.
They seemed to last a little longer and ride better, but I didn't track them & could not offer an opinion on the difference in performance.

I believe that the PS2 and the PSS will be replaced in the spring with the new PS4. I just installed my winter tires, and I'm planning to install the newest Michelin PS4 when my summer rubber is installed in May.
