I'm struggling to find tyres for my 944; 225/50/16 rear and 205/55/16 front. The choices seem to be PS5 on the rear and PS4 on the front, or Goodyear Efficient Grip performance 2 all round. The pirelli P0 rosso only seems to be available in the 205 size now apart from at ludicrous prices at Longstone.
Has anyone got experience of mixing the PS4 and PS5, or the Goodyears which seem to be more of an econobox tyre.
Any other suggestions welcome.
 
I don't see any problem mixing tyres, as long as you keep the same across an axle. So two PS5 rear, and two PS4 front, but they will be mismatched in performance, grip etc (even if it is only negligible).

I'm having the same problem sourcing matching tyres even in 17", lots of the manufacturers are reducing production of performance tyres in smaller sizes.

I'd steer clear of Pirelli after my previous (and others) experiences, they just aren't up to the standards of Goodyear and Michelin.

Some of the sub brands have come a long way, Kumho, Falken etc. Yokohama used to (may still be) a supplier of tyres to Porsche, do they do anything in 16".

The Nankang NS-20 are supposed to be a reasonably good performance tyre.
 
Thanks, I'm also finding big discrepancies in whats listed online compared to what's actually avaialble. I've found a local place that can get the goodyears, so I'm heading in that direction I think.
