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.

If the new good years are anything like their predecessors, there's no way it'll be better than the new Michelin. The g2 supcar tires were pretty bad. Why do you think michelin would discontinue the super sport to be replaced by a worse tire? It's not going to happen my friend. The current super sports will out handle the new goodyears.
