These look fine, but according to their website they're only available in 205/55 R17 (front), not 235/50 R17 (rear).

Should I mix brands for rear?

My car does have PSM. I think they're standard for 987.2.

I came across Yokohama's YT-GTX, which looks like a good fit, but unfortunately they're exclusive sold by Discount Tires, and the closest one to me is an hour away.
