On the road, what would be the downsides/risks of running PSC2 at the front and PSS at the rear, both in OE sizes on a M135i. They don't make a rear PSC2 in the OE size.

The ones I can think of :
- it would neutralise the car or maybe make it rear happy.(benefit?)
- water displacement would be different as the front tread is shallower and void/rubber ratio lesser than the rear. Unpredictable wet handling ?

The benefit would be a more resilient front tyre as the front MSS is quite fragile on the shoulders. Particularly on track. I am fully aware it's not a track car btw...

Yes square would work as the 245mm fit at the front but not on the stock rim. Might consider 235 square AD08R or buy 17 wheels if they can clear the calipers...
