Over on the G forum, folks are saying the contact patch of the pss is flatter than that of the re050a's which, while the pss has softer sidewalls, does not necessarily reduce steering response or sharpness.
Steering response is still very good (in my experience). It does seem a little more muted than tires like the RE050A and PZero, but it offers a lot more grip.

I think more often than not a lot of the criticism about the lack of response is more related to going from worn tires to full tread. You could go from a worn RE050A to a new RE050A and feel less responsive steering because you've now got full tread to squirm about.
