Question Different tread on front and rear

So about two months ago i replaced my front tires only because my rears still had some tread on them, but one of my rears blew the other night so I'm going to change both of my rears. Here is where the problem lies though, my front tires are michelin pilot sports which have been discontinued. So i wanted to know if michelin ps2's are too different a tread for me to put in the back....or should i just change them all? Would toyo t1r's be a better fit for the front tread?

1) Michelin Pilot Sports (Discontinued)

2) Michelin ps2's

3) Toyo t1r

Looking at the tread pattern alone tells you nothing. Just get the right sizes and go with the PS2.

Any adverse effects on ride quality or performance if I go with the ps2's?
