You forgot to mention their long life. I typically get 20k miles or less on a set, my last PSS's went almost 35k! These may last even longer.
Have you tried any other high-end tires with better sidewall support?
Part of me really wants to like the Bridgestone Potenza RE-71R for my car. I've never run it myself, but from what I've heard it's basically a model for how steering response should feel on a sporty street tire. If its performance weren't so much worse in low temps and on wet roads, I'd have seriously considered it.
Awesome tires, as long as you don't mind replacing them every 10k.
