Michelin PSS and PS4S

So one of my front tires got slashed and insurance is covering it, the problem being that PSS take 20 days traveling from Germany to Perú and only have in local stock PS4S. Would there be any handling/grip/traction/etc issues with the car having 3 PSS and one PS4S on the front?

I would not recommend it. The tires will have different compounding which translates into different grip, etc.

Thanks for the answer, it seems to be that I'm gonna have to wait 20 work days (a fkn month!) until I can use it again...

Edit: Although I can buy a set of PS4S and use them carefully for 20 days, switch them and keep them for when the PSS finally wear out.

Good luck. Waiting is always painful. I just got mine back today where it was getting film and paint protection- 4 days. We all waited long enough to get the car!
