Why not replace them with the same?

Don’t confuse PS4 with PS4S - the latter are successors to the PSS and are far superior tyres.

Pilot Sport 4 are pretty good, I’m happy with them.
Or you could try Vredestein. Seems like an underrated brand.

They’re OK - not a budget choice by any stretch, and definitely better than Vredesteins - but they’re not really comparable to the PS4S.

Quite a good piece on the differences between three Michelins, PS4, PS4S and a more track-orientated tyre. I went for the PS4S and am happy with them, but haven't tried the other two.

Discussion over on Audizine about a Firestone option:

No opinion myself, but interesting commentary.
I'll likely be going PS4S in the spring, when it's time to replace my current PSS, with which I've been quite happy.

If you’re happy with the P Zero’s and end up getting the MP4S or MPSS you’ll be amazed at the difference. Night and day.

Hi I suggest you to go with Michelin PSS. I am a tire
Shop owner, I own a B7 RS4 saloon and have tried some different tires in my car.
PSS is a High performance street Tire and handles great in wet conditions. Another option is Michelin Cup 2, the best Tyre you can use in my opinion but dangerous in wet Roads.
I own the Rs4 for almost a year now, when I replaced the old Michelin’s PSS with a new pair, i took the car on a country road for a test,the car was 100% better on handling and reduced understeer on tight corners.
Try to stay away from other tire brands !
I currently use Michelin PSS.

They will take a few miles to be at their absolute best - I'm low mileage myself and they improved further over the first couple of months - particularly in terms of front end bite.
