Replaced Conti's with PS2's and.....
I can't really tell much of a difference. I was having issues with a vibration and/or grinding sensation at low speeds. The shop foreman and I went for a ride and he knew what I was complaining about but thought it was the tires. Just to be sure he pulled the front rotors, repacked and adjusted the bearings and looked at everything - all OK.
So I replaced the 80% worn tires with PS2's hoping for a miracle - still have some low speed vibration and honestly I think the difference in ride etc. is just new rubber versus old worn rubber....

I have the same problem with my front OE Contis. They are badly cupped and they growl at lower speeds and have a mild vibe/howl at higher speeds. I replaced the bald rears with Nittos, but am undecided on what to use up front.
When I had a larger SUV with 20" wheels, it had a nasty vibe on the highway. I had the wheels/tires balanced on a Hunter Roadforce machine and it solved the problem. You could try that on your PS2s.
Good luck!
