Ride quality is more/less the same. Much more noise. Steering feel is a bit reduced.

If I had to do it again, I'd go 17x9 or 18x9 instead. in my experience, tires have better feel and response if their sidewall is subtly angled towards a stretch. This should keep the feel/response in check.

My car is supercharged, so MPG is lolbbq.

Seriously though, for a great performing daily driven tire, I'd look at an 18x8.5 or 18x9 wheel and get the new PS4S. That is the new hotness - the PSS is an old tire now and tire tech is constantly evolving.
