HAHAHAHA. the primacy isn't anywhere close to the S-04! I am not knocking the primacies, in fact, I debated getting a 3rd set of them after my 2nd because I love the way the car handles with them. But with the hankooks the car behaves the same, but faster. This is only one datapoint and it honestly sounds like someone fatfingered the numbers. Pobst's subjective impression was that the car was faster. My autoX experience is only one data point too I admit, but the objective and subjective improvements were significant. I'm also entertaining the idea that a driver like pobst can drive the primacies faster than a novice like me by not sliding as much, so the extra grip would benefit me more than him.
Other publications reported significant improvements with MP tires:

Again you're putting words in my mouth with the Cayman comment.
