mixed tires
Since MPSS are not available in 305/30R19, how big of an issue would it be to mix tires?
Front two tires would be MPSS in 235/35 R19
Back two tires would be PS2 in 305/30 R19
The car is AWD 997.1.
Any comments and/or recommendations are welcomed.

Re-71Rs for the most grip
RE-11 for durability
AD08R for feel

Mixed tires are okay with some caution:
IOW, put the tires with least grip paired in front, the most grip paired in back.
I don't think I'd mix brand new tires however. Not worth the hassle.

- Do not mix one side versus the other, i.e. two left versus two right.
- Mix per axle.
- Stickier tires in back.
- Use caution especially on the warm up.
- If it feels bad warm (lots of oversteer really bad, lots of understeer, no fun) get off the track. If it pushs a lot cold, give it a lap or two to come up to temp.
- Not for beginners. You need to be able to feel grip and have some car control skills.
