I'm curious, what makes the PSS tires so much better than the other options? Better grip? Longer wearing? Quieter? What?

Much of the above. They have better dry grip than most high performance tires, short of R compound tires. They have better wet weather handling than most high performance tires. They have a pretty good wear rating and ride pretty quiet for a high performance summer tire. They're simply all-star performance tires for dry/wet conditions.

To put it in perspective:

At the end, the conclusion he has is that the PSS has similar dry grip and handling characteristics as the Pilot Sport Cup, which is a race compound tire.

In my opinion, the MSS are the best you can get without going to low mileage stuff. I had a bunch of <200 rating tires over the years on my SRT4 but went the cheap route with the last set with the Pilot SS. They are almost as good as Advan A007s at almost 1/2 the price and 3x the lifetime.
