All nanny systems were on, and I could definitely feel when things kicked in. Perhaps I didn't have enough trust in the systems-it is a funky feeling, or perhaps I just know what it was to grow up in FL and lose it at hwy speeds . . . From stock PSS to PS4S: Switching out rubber was a happy upgrade. . Wet handling with PS4S def improved over worn PSS . . . Have 15k miles on the PS4S, and they still seem much better than PSS in the wet.
I've had issues in other cars. Have felt very secure in this one so far with PSS. Speed could be a factor. I also avoid Sport modes in bad weather.
