Maybe I missed it, but you didn't say what size. That would have a bit of effect on my choice, as in the smaller sizes it's not quite as crucial. I just put some 20's on my car, and used the PS2, and am amazed. Yes, they were expensive. Yes, the UTQG is only 220. I don't care. They ride and drive fantastic for a really big setup like this. I can't think of any other reason NOT to buy the PS2, except for $$$$.
Just my .02.

Same feeling here - I'm riding on 20's and have put around 15,000 miles on them. They are the best tires I've ever driven on. I also had Goodyear F1 GS-D3's on my 545. The Goodyears started to get noisy after 10,000 miles, and I was quite dissapointed. In terms of initial handling, they were great, especially in the wet. The dry handling was excellent, but the PS2's are the best in the dry. I think you'll see this in the performance testing as well - the Goodyear's are better in the wet than any other tire, by a pretty wide margin.

Personally, since I don't really push the car that hard in the rain, I prefer the Michelins.
