Michelin has specifically recommended against mixing and matching PSS with PS2 . The difference in performance is significant enough that they are concerned about throwing off the balance of the handling.
They should bring the PSS to your front size, but have not given a timetable for that yet.

It's NEVER recommended to mix and match performance tires. Different handling characteristics, pushing the car, could end up not pretty. Not worth it IMHO.

I have a mix of PZeros on the front and Falkens on the rear on my M which I have had at 196mph... no problems at all.

This should be fine since you should run the stickier tire in the rear. And since the PSS has the better traction you are good.
I have run different brands front and back on the track before, and even different sized wheels; so again as long as I kept the high grip in the back, it was not dangerous.

It's fine. Probably not optimal for 8/10s driving though.

I'm running Ps2 front and PSS rears, but I haven't pushed the car yet. Will let you know my impressions when I do.
