Define "street tire".
Amongst competitors and race sanctioning bodies, anything with 200tw or higher is considered a street tire.
Any tire in the 200tw category will have better dry grip than the PS4S. You won't get 30K miles out out them though and you'll probably be staring down the grim reaper if you get caught in any substantial rain.
PS4S remains one of the go-to for auto-x when it comes to wet conditions. It's a great tire for real-world street conditions but still behind those 200tw street tires.

I did a lot of tire research for my new GLI in the past week. Look into the Continental ExtremeContact Sport 02.
The Tire Rack got .92G in the WET. They got 1.00G in the DRY. Conti provides a better warranty if you get a flat.
This YouTube video compares the two. This is the best tire reviewer IMO.

Those probably provide better dry traction on the track once warmed up but my guess is they are worse on the street?
PS Cup 2 performs better than PS 4S even without warm-up. OP is in FL. Contrary
to PS(1). Downsides: Cost, wet traction and shorter live. You can't have everything.
That said, PS Cup 2 offers significantly better road manners than similar performing
competitors.
2020 Mustang >> $$$$
Exactly. Very similar performance.
.
Of course, but the Mustang is available with many different tire sizes, and we don't want to recommend something not available in the size OP needs
.
Very true. Sizes are a vital part of this kind of question.

I like the Falken FK460 A/S on my AWD Fusion. "Comparable" to the Continental DWS but not 100% and the dry traction (to me) is on par with the pilot sport 4
Smart choice given its predetermined selection. Sadly I cant't find 255/40 R19 and 275/40 R19:
However, 265/35 ZR19 98Y or 265/40 ZR19 on front and 285/35 ZR19 103Y rear might fit properly.
On a side note, brand-new PSS5 sadly with limited 21" sizes and OE specs only so far:

Nitto nt555 g2?
I even bought a set of the 235/45-18 Continental sport 2's for my 2019 Camry just for fun to see what they would do compared to what most people would run on a normal car. I love sticky tires and run 275/40-19 Nitto NT-05's with 200 TW front/rear on my 1955 Chevy.
I was thinking about these tires.
