Indy 500 generally do a little better in the dry, a/s 3+ do a lot better in the wet.
I wonder if the new PS A/S 4, compared to the A/S 3+ "The latest generation improves on that performance with 4% better dry braking, 5% better wet braking and 10% more snow traction" Just bridged the small gap between the two tires you compared above in the dry, and further extended the gap in the wet. Also the new PS A/S 4 is a 540 tread-ware. So despite the increased price compared to the 340 tread-ware Indy 500, it should out last it for a long enough time to make up the cost making them roughly equal in price per mileage.
