Never recommended to mix tires on Porsches.

How many miles did you get on the rears? I almost got 20,000 miles on my Pilot Sports. My ride is still great, tires are not noisy. Lost grip, but I can easily predict how the car will slide and understeer. If I got caught in the rain, I'd be screwed!

I am going in Friday to get all new shoes. PS2's this time, since the Pilot Sports are no longer being made by Michelin in 19"s.
