I don't know for sure, but I believe that grip levels of PS2 and PS3 are roughly similar. The main difference is that the latter will last a little longer, as it's rubber compound is different. The treadwear index is 220 on my 19in PS2's, and 320 on my 18in PS3's, reflecting a greater durability. If I remember PSS are also 300 or 320 ...
PSS are 300. So like you said before it's all about personal choice here. They are too sticky, the PSS, but for me it is just fine due to how and where I use the car. And I stick with stock sizes at least
