Who is mismatching tires? And who told you that having 2 fronts and 2 rears that are different causes stability issues?

Saying you will have problems is a bit extreme. Depending on the tires and their condition, you may or may not have stability issues. In general, this is not recommended, but it's not necessarily unsafe. I changed out my rears from OEM to Nitto Invo after <10K miles. I got over 20K on the front tires before switching all four tires to Nitto Invo the next change. They did absolutely fine, even in the rain. The biggest concern is the tread patterns cause havoc with the way that the tires shed water. The front treads could possibly make the rear tires more likely to hydroplane.

The OP is running PSS all around right now. He's looking to swap out the rears and continue running PSS in the front.

The OP with PSS fronts and another brand rears? I can't see it being too bad in a straight line, but it could be odd in turns if the fronts and rears have drastically different levels of grip. It's all a moot point if his alignment is out and killing his tires and the wear isn't just from playing donut.

geez... you guys need to replace your tires WAAAY before this...

3/32 at the shallowest tread is about where you want to replace tires.

Doesn't cost an arm and a leg and is plenty grippy for street use

I have run way more expensive tires like the MPSS and have found that the RE760's have similar grip levels and so far have been wearing well anything more
expensive is just overkill IMO

i run those on my Fit. not sure if grippy enough for Z.

Plenty grippy for me

I have taken many a freeway roundabout with a spirited speed and it more than held up
