| I haven't tried the PS2s before but I was in the same situation you were, wanting a very grippy street tire that didn't sacrifice handling characteristics. At the time I was trying to decide between Toyo's similar model and the Nitto but I had two locals using the Nittos with great results, so I went that way and have no regrets. At 20psi from a dead dig they don't spin at all, let alone while rolling. Take note this is on a built automatic though. For reference, my old Toyo T1-Rs would spin clear through 1st/2nd. They do have a little road noise but nothing to write home about. In fact, it's nothing I didn't hear on other performance tires. As for wet, they aren't ideal but from reviews I've read they do perform surprisingly well if you get stuck.  I think there are a few other comparable tires out these days so wait until you here what a few other members post before deciding. Definitely keep the NT05s high on your list though. What I can tell you is that you're not going to come away cheap when grip is required. The NT05s aren't crazy expensive but they will wear faster than traditional tires being just a notch below a full R Compound. Worth every penny though! Few pics of them (rear only). I went with 275/35/18s for a tad more sidewall.
