I just went from Federal 595 RS-RR (very loud but performed well on street and autocross) to their 595 RS-Pro (waaaaay quiter, I love these tires so far).
Pros: performed well, waaaaay quiter
Cons: very loud

Agree with others who point out that you can run anything but, since you're looking for upgrades, I can attest that the Continental Extremecontact DWS 06+ is an absolutely fantastic UHP all-season if you're not in a climate where you have dedicated summer and winter tires. I went to them straight after Michelin Pilot Sport 4S summer tires and I'm not going back to Michelins.
Pros: fantastic UHP all-season
I have a set of Yokohama BluEarths, $120 per wheel including labour
I also own a set of these, I can confirm. Fits my BMW very well as they used to make airplane engines, and these sound like a Messerschmidt prop plane.
Pros: fits BMW very well
Cons: sounds like plane
Vehicle:
BMW
A lot of people say they last longer than others!
Pros: last longer
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
3: [Yokohama ADVAN Apex V601]: this is a fav of all the porsche crowd at track days as they offer about 5% less grip than a PS4S or the other two tires I listed, but they will go all day at a track day and never chunk and still get 25k miles out of them.
Pros: never chunk, long lasting
Cons: less grip
Mileage: 40233 km
I've been running PS4S on my 6mt Mk8 GTI and have been pretty happy. Great balance of road/ rain performance and comfort, but still enough grip to have fun.
Pros: great balance, enough grip
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
I bought a similar cooper tire for its long life. Harsh and noisy.
Pros: long life
Cons: harsh and noisy
Every Good year tire that I have owned was terrible. When I got my most recent F150 new it came with Good Years and I slid all over in just rain... put Michelins on in under a year as a result and was very happy. I do highway driving a lot so sliding in rain basically just coasting wasn't going to do well on a wet highway.
Pros: happy with Michelins
Cons: terrible, slid in rain
Vehicle:
Ford
I have a set of PS4S’s that I have on right now. I find the Michelin’s to be horrible in the rain.
Cons: horrible in rain
Vehicle:
Kia
