Tyres are personal choice. You cant say ones better/stickier than the other because it depends how you ride. As said though, for the road you ideally need a tyre that does not need to stay hot to work well. Also, tyre shapes are very different so you need to find a trye that suits your riding style.

For example, PP's are shaped more like a 'V', which tips in quicker and more agressively and will perform better on track. A bridgestone 016 for example is more like a 'U' so more progressive and smoother, and also more predictable so suited better for road use in my opinion. I prefer the 016's and cant fault them at all for the road to be honest. Gets up to temperature well and can last me 2000-2200 miles on the road.
