Every tire is a tradeoff.

The PS2's are a great blend of high grip in both dry and wet conditions along with a smooth ride and quiet operation. The only downside is that they are expensive.

There are cheaper tires with more dry grip (Kumho Ecsta XS, Hankook Ventus RS-3, and Dunlop Star Spec Direzza) but you're going to give up something else (like wet grip and longevity) to max out the dry grip capability.
