Shall I replace all 4 tires or just rears?
 
So my rear tires are just about shot, but my fronts still have about 6/32" left. I'm gonna be ordering some Michelin pss's. Would it be a big waste of tire tread if I replaced the fronts also? I just wanna experience a brand new set of four pss's as opposed to having 2 different brands of tire on my car.

I agree.

Since I use the same tires, I try to get two sets of rears for every set of fronts. If you are switching up from OEM or otherwise changing to different tires, you might consider replacing all four. Different treads in the front and back wheels can sometimes cause abnormal wet weather performance.

Yea I think I'll do all 4. Next time my rears wear down first, assuming I go with pss's again I can just replace rears.

In a performace car I have never had good luck with two different brands/models.

Sell or trade off the fronts...

Good luck.
