Mixing tyre types. Crossclimate vs pilot Sport4

[Elroy Blue]

I have a BMW I4 which is fitted with Pilot Sport 4s. The rears are at the point of being replacing and I was thinking about getting air-weather cross climate 2s. They seem to have good reviews and are compatible with an EV.
My front PS4s still hence 5mm of tread so will last a while yet.
I've always been dubious about mixing tyres and can't justify replacing all four at once.
Thoughts on the tyres themselves and mixing.

I found the Crossclimates had a lot less grip than regular summer tyres. Not sure I would want to mix and match or have them on the back...

Everyone says you shouldn’t mix the types but like you said, difficult to justify swapping all 4 when 2 have plenty of tread left.

Swapped out 2 in the past doing a similar thing, stuck the all-seasons on the back and didn’t notice any issues with stability or handling. I don’t drive like a maniac and the next year I swapped the other 2 for all-seasons. No issues.

How did you find the wear rate on the Crossclimates .

that would be an extremely bad idea.

If you drive hard on twisty roads then I’d suggest it’s not worth it. If you’re a steady motorist then I doubt you’d notice.

Agreed, I would look for some part worn PS4s and then replace all together with 4 season when the time comes.
