I have had both.. PSS is better, grippier, wears quicker, softer and quieter.. On dry, michelin pss has a better reaction at centre steering. Longevity on s001 is better as it is a harder compound. Oh and one thing, s001 is noisy on the road imo. If you are going for looks rather than track time, don't waste money on PSS. Best all round imho is continental 5p and 6 for all weather use. Continental 6 is on par now with PSS and has even better traction in the wet. I have tested everything except yokohama advans. If you are in for longevity and want good grip from time to time and don't want to spend as much as continentals or michelin, consider Falken 453 for peace of mind and pocket. They are not as grippy as above but much better for day to day use as its a little harder compound and rears will last 4 5 months longer compared to any softer tire such as michelin, continentals or bridgestones..
Ps; I am on my fourth set of Continental 5P and will switch to Continental 6 when they wear out.. my application is street with 20% spirited driving.
What is your application? Street or track??
