Need to replace rear 265's and currently have Michelin Sports.Trouble is even Micheldever have them on back order and mine are near the end.Should i risk replacing the rear tyres for something different keeping the Michelins on the front and if so what?
Not keen to mix but any thoughts would be appreciated.
Cheers

not sure about a 4200 but on a 3200 the tyres to go for are Toyo proxes.

I have just taken Michelin Pilot Sports off the back of my 3200 and Pirelli PZeros off the front, and gone Continentals all round. It now feels much stickier up front, particularly in the wet, and the traction control is called into play less often on the rear. I can't vouch for mileage as yet, but they can't be any worse than the Pirellis, which lasted about 5 minutes.
