Well, actually... yes, there is. And that's one benefit to having "less than the best" tires. What I mean by that is, having driven on "pretty good" and "really great" tires, the "pretty good" tires tend to tell you when they are approaching their limit of adhesion and give you some warning. The "really great" tires do indeed stick better than the "pretty good" tires, but when they reach their limit it can be a surprise to those of us who are "less than pro."
There are some true tire aficionados around here. Surely they can comment on the "surprise" factor of the very high end tires.
