Sorry to necro an old thread but just need to correct the record for anyone else who arrives here from a google search of "PS4S vs ECS", this is incorrect.

I've had the Pilot Super Sports on my old STI and for 27k miles on my F80 as the OEM tire. I now have over 3k miles on the ECS on my M3. The ECS is a much better tire than the outgoing MPSS, especially in the wet. It's a night & day difference. Ride quality is better, grip is better, especially in wet conditions.

As for the 4S I can't compare personally as I haven't driven it but after nearly a year after SYT_Shadow's speculative prediction it seems the reviews say the ECS isn't that far off the new 4S performance-wise, and the ECS is cheaper and available in a wider range of fitments.

Hopefully this information is useful to someone.
