Hi All, new 2012 CS owner and new rennlister. Recently picked up a Black 2012 CS w/55k on the odometer. Had a PPI performed, all checked out (never tracked) and took it home. I knew the rear tires needed replacing before the purchase so I need of some advice. The previous owner had recently replaced the front tires (235/35-19) with Bridgestone RE-11's and left the worn OEM P-Zero rears (305/30-19) installed so currently riding on mismatched sets of tires. The car drives great even with the mismatched sets but the cabin roadnoise from worn rear P-Zero's is horrendous on less than perfect pavement. I've done a lot of reading and it's been said that the new Michelin PS4S tires are considered the best balance of performance with the least amount of interior cabin roadnoise. The front RE-11's still have plenty of tread left with maybe not even 5k miles on them. Would it be ok to replace the worn rear P-Zeros with Michelin PS4S's and keeping the RE-11's up for front until needing front replacements? I don't ever plan on tracking the car and I'd like to quiet down the cabin roadnoise a bit, I can install new RE-11's on the rear (RE-11's all around) but I'm pretty sure the PS4S's are quieter I just don't know how significant the difference is between the 2. Can somebody who's had experience on both please comment regarding the cabin roadnoise differences. And what's everybody's opinions if I should or shouldn't mismatch brands even if it's just for maybe 6mos.

thanks Mark, total rennlist newb mistake. I posted the question on tires in the 997 forum, couldn't figure out how to move or delete this one hopefully the admin can clean up my mess.

Where are you located, I need to replace one of the front RE11’s on my 2011 C2S, due to a screw, please post size and date.

Thanks,

PS: Congratulations on the new ride
