Differing Tyres (per axle) C63 W204

[1Addicted]

Time for new front tyres. The car was supplied originally with Michelin PS2 on all four however, two cracked rims on the rear later, MB replaced runs plus tyres as gesture of good will (which was nice as they were about half way worn). The tyres that were fitted were Continental 5P, which in all honesty grip better than the PS2 in the dry, not as wel in the wet.

Anyway, hence I now have two different brands/models on each axle. Drive wise, never an issue, I actually love how quickly the car turns in and can snap direction with little unsettlement but, in an ideal world should I really match all four and replace the PS2 with 5P's?

The only real contender seems to be the PSS, but I find reviews half in favour of PSS and half in favour of 5P so, is there any merit to sticking these on the front and waiting for the rear tyres to catch up enough to replace those with PSS?

If you're happy as is, keep it. The rears will wear so fast you can decide what to do later.

I, and I think most others have switched to Michelin Pilot Super sport, with the slightly wider 265/30/19 on the rear (or if you have 18s 265/35/18). Great tyre, and the fact they're slightly wider gives a tiny bit more protection

I'd wait until the rears are worn and stick them on all round.
