I used them both, PS3 on a different car for two years and PSS still on my 1M. PS3 is not really designed for cars like 1M but more like GTI category hatches, small sporty cars and sedans. It is a totally road performance tire with lots of comfort. It is even more smoother and quieter than the PSS but does not have the same ultimate grip levels and handling characteristics of the PSS. They can be used with the 1M too, of course, for the very reasons that you just mentioned. Just not the same tires at all. Later when and if you put PSS on your 1M you will see what I mean which may effect the way you drive your 1M on the road. I think you just can leave a (stock) 1M with PSS tires with MDM on or even DSC off all the time, other than extreme weather conditions, and you will be fairly safe.

What about sidewall stiffness between the PSS and PS3? I find that tires with a stiffer sidewall feel a bit more quick reacting, something I value more than ultimate grip on the street.
