Default Tire question for 2013 427

I recently purchased a 2013 427 Anniversary Edition and noticed the front tires are Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 (ZP) P285/30ZR19 and the rear tires are Michelin Pilot Sport P335/25/R20. The tires have approximately 16K miles on them and as far as I can tell the car handles fine.
I think I will need new tires prior to a trip this summer and my question is Michelin makes a tire called Michelin Pilot Sport A/S P285/30ZR19. Can this be run on the car with new Michelin Pilot Sport 2. The noticeable difference is the tread pattern of the A/S tire. My concern is the existing tires with the amount tread that is left and running into rain I want some traction on the road.
Seeking input and recommendations
Thanks
Harry

As a general rule you don't want to mix different tires. Some users have had issues doing that. Then again, many people do it and have no issues.

You may luck out and find someone who has that exact setup before you risk it.

Why don't you just go with Michelin Pilot Super Sport ZP all around? They are offered in the correct sizes.

I would change all tires to the same brand and type...Look at the Michelin Super Sports, non run flats...the prices are falling on them and they are rated extremely high on all tire forums. I bought a set and love them
