I have a set of Vredestein Ultrac Satin 93W on my S40. Very happy with the tires. comfortable, lots of grip and a pretty good price point for the 205/50/17 size.

The tires are a lot quieter than the Dunlops that were on the car last year.

Another thumbs up for the Michelin Pilot Sport 4!

My summer wheels are back on and I forgot how truly good these are after using Avon WV7 Snow tires throughout winter, if I did a bit of spirited driving in those, under heavy acceleration they'd torque steer like a pair of horses going astray, under moderately heavy or late braking DSTC would be telling me off accompanied with ABS judder on a skittish somewhat unpredictable dive, not to say that they didn't have good grip in wintry conditions, I just took the mick with them a bit - not what they are designed for...

However back to the PS4s, absolutely glorious! Masses of grip and superb wet handling, turn in is tighter with just so much more control for corrections and power delivery. I'd find it hard to switch to anything else really, but open to suggestions as afterall, they aren't the cheapest tyre out there.
