My front contis have 'had it' and I was considering replacing them with the Pirelli Rosso N4s, since so much has been said/written about them recently.
However, I only replaced the rears about 1500miles ago and don't particularly fancy changing all them as well for the sake of matching.
So, are there any risks to mixing? I will not be mixing on each axle. Anyone here running in mixed mode?
The rears are contis N2 (265/35/18). Another reason I am considering the change is concerns about the amount of heat that the contis generate even during the mildest sprints. Despite having good grip, these heat can't be good for the tyres life. I have heard rumours of this heat leading to serious chunks of rubber coming off the tyre....on the track.

Jesus, some people don't even take the time to read the post properly!I am not quite sure where the suggestion on cost being the reason behind the proposed change eminated. Pzero rosso N4s cost more that contisports N2.
If P zeros are better than contis, then I thought I could change the fronts to Pirellis now and do the same with the rears when they are due/close to being due. All I wanted to know was - are there any risks to doing this?
Asked for comments on what the possible risks are not insults like "fit the cheapest tyres you can find". You don't buy a 996 to be cheap - do you?
