I had a rear T30 before the PR4, only negative i can recall was that i found the compound soft so it picked up any road dirt very easily. In fact it had a screw in it the day after i got it fitted, but luckily it was in the fleshy part of the tyre so it never penetrated to let air out.
The main thing for me with the PR4 is the grip in the wet, and apart from still looking out for the obvious like drains, etc, i don't have to worry about the fact that the road is wet at all.

Of no interest to me then  :lol Frustrating that on our shitty roads if you go for a very nice soft tyre for dry riding that you are just going to get a punture. I wonder if it is the larger bare tread area on the "best for dry roads - bad for wet roads that is the cause of picking up a puncture rather than their softness. Those PR4s have all of those cross lines designed to dissipate water and wondering if they act as some sort of "screw deflector" that flicks them away. 
Here is my M7 rr back tyre just after scrubbing in with lots of nice nail and screw real-estate.
