Yes, have to say I've noticed PS4S have a tendency to aquaplane in deep standing water at motorway speeds, on 19" low profile 225 & 255 anyhow. I've done a lot of miles on different sets, sizes and brands of tyres over 5 years of e92's and the ps4s don't shift water as well as say Goodyear Eagle f1s, or even a worn set of pzeros - which if anyone has had a set of 85% used pzeros will know how crazy that seems.
To rule out anything else causing this I had alignment rechecked with 2 different hunter machines, and a full safety inspection from my specialist indi and all was how it should be.
Ps4s scored really well in evo magazine tyre tests for aquaplane but they didn't test on an e9x with 19" etc..
Ps4s do out perform everything else in all other conditions including rain and even when cold so not much of a compromise overall
