OP isn't looking for track tires, PSS are probably the best-performing real-world warm-weather street tires you can get. And the lighter weight does improve the quality of feedback/feel and ride a bit.

FWIW, I have PSS as daily tires on my RX-7, and Z1 StarSpecs for track work. Back to back weekends they were more comparable in terms of grip than I expected, but the PSS feel a lot better on the street (StarSpecs felt like wooden clogs in comparison).

I like the RS-3s I have on the s2000, but grip in cool temps and particularly in the wet is nowhere near PSS levels. And on the street, I'd say they're about equal in warm dry conditions.

RS3 in rain and snow is so fun though.
