Tyres need changing, advice please

My Rears are worn but fronts are still 5-6/32nds and are the pzeros n0. Would people be comfortable changing rears only to Michelin 4s and doing the fronts when their more worn or should I do all 4 and suck it up?

Don't mix tire brands.
Suck it up.
Suck it up.

I probably would suck it up and get 4 but, having said that, I can't imagine a situation where mixed brands would cause a problem anywhere other than on a track. So much rubber on the road. Anyone have an answer?

Mixed brands do cause a problem..so I've been told especially if you have pdcc & spasm on the car. So change all 4 with the same brand.
Now, I'm also considering PS4s for the first time, after repeatedly changing with Pzeros Oem. I remember someone posted a pic on the forum a while back and Michelins especially for the front look a bit weird without the sidewall protection etc and they don't fill the wheel wells completely...is it true?.... it'd really be helpful if someone could post a pic of PS4s installed especially on 20" Carreras classics...thanks

The 4S does have sidewall protection.

+1 for 4S. Just had my first drive w it after a fresh alignment and the car absolutely rips on corners. Substantially better/more confidence inspiring than the pzeros grip-wise.
Sorry I don't have multiple angles or any pics more useful, just snapped a quick one while it was on the Hunter.
On a side note, the OEM 245 fronts on 9inch sport technos are way too stretched a fitment. Surprised that Porsche made this choice. Went w 255 fronts on the 4S it looks much more normal.
