Recommendation for tyres

Seems like I have a slow puncture in a rear tyre and that may hasten the replacement of all four. The tyres are all around 4mm remaining but are all "over age".
Current tyres are are Michelins on 19" wheels on a 997.2 Carrera S Cabriolet.
Any recommendations would be valued. Any thoughts on best choice to mitigate road noise?
 
Same car as you and I opted for Bridgestone Potenza’s and went through the OPC as trying to get them was proving difficult, and plus they always have a look at the car to see if they can spot another job So can be an advantage
 
I changed mine last year from Michelin N rated - 2 newish and 2 old tyres - to a full set of Michelin PS4S as part of a geometry alignment refresh, and they have been great - a lot of positive feedback from others who have made the same choice.
 
PS 4S are not N rated, if that matters to you - probably only if you have warranty
 
Thanks Berin. I do have a warranty and might extend again so do need to consider the N rating. I think it may be PS 2 S that are N rated.
 
Sadly, the only Michelins that are N rated for 997.2 are PS2 and Pilot Sport Cup.
I have not tried Cup 2 but they are a track focused tyre, by reputation not great on a cold wet road.

There are a few comparisons online between PS4s and PS2. Most suggest the PS4s is marginally the better all round choice but in most circumstances the PS2 is very close. They are quite noisy though…
