It all depends.
The PS2 is hard to beat for a near-perfect balance of dry grip, wet grip, good handling, quiet ride, and acceptable tread wear.
However, if you're looking for maximum dry grip and handling, then there are other tires that offer more grip and better cornering for less money than PS2's (Hankook R-S3, Kumho Ectsa XS, etc).
But to get that max dry grip you'll have to sacrifice some wet grip, tolerate some increase in road noise, and accept a reduction in tread life.
Some owners are comfortable/happy with these trade-offs and some are not. The ones who were unhappy or switched back to PS2's were probably also unaware of the real life tradeoff's that had to be made to get the extra dry performance. It just depends on what is important to you in a tire.
