Spanky
I find myself at more and more autocross events every year. I've had a lot of instructor rides and my wife is a great driver... so I'm pretty sure my skills are improved. I'm now at a place where I usually finish in the top half of similar cars. Recently, my improvement has slowed (or my consistency is better), so now I think my base Boxster is ready for better tires. I drive the car to work about three days a week, so I'm not interested in modifying it into an autocross vehicle.
My current tires are low-end Bridgestones. Over the years, I have replaced the fronts once, and the rears twice, but I was never at a place where all four were sufficiently worn to replace the full set with a different brand. My friends tell me not to mix different tire brands on the car.
So, here's the question... my local Costco has Michelin Pilot Sport Cup tires that fit my rears. I can spring for these, plus some new Michelin Pilot Sport PS2s for the front at the same time. Will this make me a happier autocrosser? and what will happen when I street drive here in California with these tires?

I do however drive my RE71-Rs as my regular, day-to-day tire. As long as its not too wet or cold, they are great on the road. If its wet, slow down!
