Bad idea to replace PS2 rears with PSS or A/S tires?

Had MO spec Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 all around, rears are now gone. Fronts look new.

With PS3 and Pilot Super Sports now available, I don't want to invest in older tech PS2 again. PSS are getting fantastic reviews.

Can I mix the PS2 fronts with new PSS in the rear without adverse effects? Was also considering a compromise high performance A/S tire, I imagine that's even a greater difference from PS2 to PSS.

You can mix the PS2 with PSS in the rear but I would go with Michellin PSS all around to take maximum advantage of the tires.

I thought there could be an imbalance having different tire attributes front and rear. Maybe one end is more or less grippy, breaks traction differently, etc

Not like people don't get a flat and throw on another brand altogether and putter along. Hopefully not on these cars...

No big deal. Easy to mix esp with the same manufacturer with the upgraded tire.
