bad idea to throw pilot sport AS's on the front and PS2's on the back?
all 4 are PS right now and since the tread life is terrible, for the fronts im thinking AS's especially since the other day when i was driving in hard rain the fronts would lose grip ..so the AS's would help out with that and longer tread life...and the backs ps2 for accel traction

I think that would be a bad idea even if it was PS1 on the front and PS2 on the rear. All season's on the front would be introducing even more variables that are not desirable.
The tires have different grip tendencies and different tread patterns. It will make for a really weird feeling car.
Also pushing it hard in the corners would not be fun as your understeer problems would more than likely increase.
I would put PS2's on all four and drive like a madman. Life is too short to be messing with AS tires.

depends on the weather
therer are very few things I can think of that would be worse and most of them involve flames and explosions
a few things to consider
#1.) read this thread .... I don't post things like this just for fun

#2.) The Pilot Sport has more wet traction than the A/S version
#3.) you would be creating alot of understeer
#4.) in the rain the car would be down right scary in the corners
