Obviously the Pilot Sport is designed to be an all around performance tire for everyday use. The 4S is a bit more aggressive with sportier driving in mind. The Sport Cup 2 is a high performance tire with laptimes in mind and is not designed with wet performance as the goal as you can see below:

Take these same tires in the dry and the result reverses. The Sport Cup 2 crushes the Pilot Sport tires by over a second. The Pilot Sport 4S impressively clings pretty close to the Sport Cup 2 but ultimately is outclassed:

The 4S is the best blend of dry and wet performance. No surprise there and the Sport Cup 2 is the best track tire.
Ultimately, matching your car to its task with proper rubber is incredibly important. There is a give and take in grip in certain situations though as well as longevity.
