Another vote for the Michelin Pilot Super Sports here, it really is an excellent tire......sorry, was posting at the same time as you and didn't intially see your PSS comments above. An honourable mention to the Continental DW which I also found to be very good in both wet and dry conditions......they were a tad softer in the sidewall than the likes of the PSS though.

As for the Advans etc, I haven't run them myself but have spoken with a number of guys who ran them on Evo's and STi's for DD and auto-x duties. Relatively sticky tires for sure, but, as one might expect from a tire with a below 200 treadwear rating like the AD08 and like Dunlop Star-specs, not necessarily the quietest or best DD tire out there. (Yes, I know the treadwear can be a nonsense as it's manufacturer derived, but it's a reasonable rough gauge of a tire's area of expertise)
