I’ve just ordered ps4s’s for my front (987s)

To clarify I am talking PS4S not PS4

I realised that one of my ps2 tyres at the rear has a nail in beyond repair. The other side has 6mm left and only 2 years old so am just going to replace the damaged one

I would rather have ps4s tyres as they are newer tech than the ancient ps2 but can’t get ps4s on the rear size

what would you do? Options are:

1) change front to ps2 so at least all 4 match

2) fit PS4S on front and ps2 on rear

3) get the 265/40/19 PS4S for the rear (should be 265/35/19) so they all match and are all PS4S even though ratio is slightly out

I’m not bothered about N rating just want a good handling safe set up

I’ve got 19’s
And one of the ps2 on the rear was like new so in the end I just replaced the other rear with a new ps2 and put two new PS4’s on the front. It handles beautifully.
