I can put a Michelin PS2 on it, but not sure. I've never run mismatched tires.
I need some advice on this. What do you all think?

If you can't find the single tire you need, I would look to see if you can get two of the PSS in a different width (like 255 maybe?) faster than the 2 month wait. The alternative is to run two different treads. It's not a great idea for a DD that sees a lot of inclement weather (differing treads can wreak havoc on steering and traction in extreme cases), but for a lot of people it's not that big of a deal. I did it for about 5K miles after the stock rears went. And I'm doing it right now because one of my rears separated and a fellow forum member that works at a tire place hooked me up with some used rear tires for $50 apiece.
