The only leap of faith would be to assume that it's an answer to all of the tire dilema's in regards to street/track tires. This is still a street tire, and the Cup2 is still a street-able track tire.
The basic tread layout was immediately noticeable just from images as I use the Cup2's already (which has the familiar tread sipes and belt tech and tread layout), and have the PSS's on my daily wheels. I've run the Cup2's for only 5k kms on Mountain Tours, but can tell you the performance gap is quite large from the PSS once they're warmed up. The new PS4S seems to have bridged the gap and offered something in between, for the price of a PSS. Will you still require a track dedicated tire for top levels of grip? Yes..
It's not about watching youtube reviews or forum feedback, really.. It's about my personal experience with over $10k in Michelin tires in the past few years. Also, working for Canada's largest tire retailer, I get some inside feedback well before the video's that release to the ROW..
Here's the Cup2
Here's the new PS4S
You can see the relation, it's quite clear.

I see nice descriptive language, however where is the data?
Kia owners say their cars go fast. BMW M4 owners say their cars go fast.
Words mean nothing. Where are the numbers?
BTW, I suspect 99.999% of BMW owners never track their cars.
