Again, I'd say temper your expectations. The PS4S tires are going to be
great daily driver tires that will get you to maybe 30k miles while giving you a wonderful, sporty ride. But realistically, Supercar 3 tires aren't poorly conceived ... they're a great tire in their own right, but they made a tradeoff to have greater performance for worse treadwear.
Unless Michelin has successfully performed magic, the PS4S isn't going to grip "a lot" better than them while getting 3x more life. Maybe it'll get 90% of the grip, and maybe that'll be good enough to get people on it (I'm definitely considering it myself after I wear out the Supercar 3s, because then I could get a dedicated track wheel/tire setup).
But betting on magic... eh... I wouldn't. An alternative explanation could be that the PS4S tires are going to fail to deliver anything remotely close to the life of the predecessor, which would be disappointing for the fans of the original tires. And it would probably make me reconsider switching to them.
And while wider isn't always better, in this case it is. It hasn't gone off to the extreme where it doesn't make a difference/makes things worse.
