Best you give the measurements you want and hit up blackcircles.

I assume it's 17" ? I think you get PS4s in that size..

It depends whether you want to have a set for wet and a different set for dry - as atlex says Michelin Pilot Sport 4 are a great all-rounder. PS5 might be available in 17" too.

For a bit less cash, Uniroyal Rainsport 5 are good, obviously more wet-focused.
