Its more "in your head" for most v. the real difference unless you are looking at 1/10's of seconds on a track. Conti's IMO feel better so if you are not the track monkey I think you should be pleasently surprised at the difference in favor of the conti's.

Conti's won me over with their DWS on a past non-m car. For an all-season tire they worked like a charm in winter and summer, snow and rain and offered great grip. Conti's of the past were subpar in many segments but I think they make a quality competitive product now.
It's certainly not in my "head" and I can "feel" the difference and, IMHO, Contis are total crap. Perhaps if you pushed your car a little harder you'd notice the performance limitations of the Contis and perhaps a difference in performance/feel of the PSS. I doubt there's a difference in feel if you are driving at only 1/10 of the tire's capability
