If you start to get rivers or large puddles, that’s when you want the 4S.
It doesn’t make any sense to keep PSS/4S on both sets of wheels. Run the PSS/4S on the street and track weekends that look like heavy rain. Run the 71RS for dry & light/med rain track weekends.
That’s the whole point in having two sets of wheels/tires!

I'd also echo this point. 255/35-19 f and 275/35-19 R can work on the OE wheels and would be a good option for the Michelin PS4S. For the wider set, I think a 200TW track-oriented compound would give you more enjoyment on dry days and depending on tire can work in light rain. Swapping sets based on a weather report might not be your cup of tea, but picking up a cheap jack and doing just that makes more sense than owning 2 sets of wheels that have the same tires mounted.
If on the other hand, you plan to sell the OE wheels and run only the VS-5RS, then I think the PS4S makes sense as a do-it-all option and we list various sizes that can work on the fitment guide as well:
