(Based on experiences in 255/35/20)
Do consider Cup2s.
I've been pleasantly suprised by their wet performance; As long as you don't frequently have to deal with extreme rain and standing water, you'd be perfectly fine:- If you are in standing water, just dial it right back and you'll be fine (Personally, I don't particularly care what tyre I'm on in the truly pissing rain - I'd rather not dice with it, and certainly won't be going 10/10ths "full attack")
In the "normal" wet / light rain (~10c) here in the UK, You can extract fairly good pace from them with a good degree of confidence once warmed up.
I'd wind it in and drive a bit more sedately in heavy rain, but even in poor conditions (very cold etc) I've not had any horrifying / unexpected departures into the scenery; They're very linear and will let you know exactly how much grip you've got to play with.
I did find the PS4S a touch too soft and understeer biased for my liking in 255/35; The Cup2 has entirely fixed that - Balance is the same as CSC6 (In 245/30), with a dollop of extra grip, and a mountain of extra handling feel.
There's certainly a reason they're standard fitment on the FK8 LE, Porsche GT Range, M2 CSL, Ferrari et al.
