PS2 PS4 Combo

[kingroon]

Looking for some new tyres for my 996.2 GT3 Wheels, but can only get Michelins in a PS4 Front, PS2 Rear setup due to availability etc.

Is there any potential hazard/danger/mismatch with this set up..? Both are Y rated; Fronts 95, Rears 98..

Haven't tried, but I think having two different threads can hurt performance.

PS4s can be hard to come by. I was waiting a while before I found a set of 4 on black circles.

I don't see any hazard here for a 2wd car. Others will have much more insight into performance issues, but I'd say that having a significant difference in tread depth could be more of an issue than having similar tyres on the same tread depth (to give a bit of perspective).

I've made the mistake of having fairly significantly different tyre tread types on the front and back of a 4wd car before. It really upset the traction control system and needed changing. This wasn't a performance vehicle.

i have a 996 turbo and thats the combo i have on mine. limited choices on 18s. I haven't found any problems at all with that set up but i did feel it would have increased the grip at the front with the ps4 but hasnt happened.

Got this combination at the moment. No real difference from the former PS2 all round set up.

Maybe more front grip? but still balanced. I don't bimble about either so consider it safe.

You may not notice the difference until it takes you by surprise.

The Carrera GT was considered a challenge on the original PS2's ... which was resolved when Porsche N rated the Supersport only for this car.

I wouldn't, but I can see the problem.

Pirelli ?
