One other thought - if you get roughly twice as many miles out of the fronts than the rears (and this is my fervent hope, being in pretty much the same spot as you thenavarro), then you could buy another pair of the PSs for just the rear and replace all four with whatever you wanted when they wear out.

Of course, if you only get 50% more miles on the fronts, then you end up going through 2 front pairs and 3 rears to get to that point... And if it's 20% more... :dance:
