Purchased Michelin Pilot 4s for rear in original size, 285/35/20. Trying to keep the same brand/pattern all around. It seems, it will be few month before the fronts come out in original size, 265/40/19. Do any of you running different front/back. Any disadvantages? The tire will be mostly driven on the street. Any suggestions appriciated.
Different tires for front and back

A 275/40-19 would be about the same height as the rear if you wanted something wider. I've run a 285-40-19 on the OEM SVTPP rim when I had 315/35-20s on widened SVTPP rims, and there were no clearance issues, but it would be taller than the 285s in the rear.
I run MPSS in the front and R888's in the rear. I haven't noticed any issues to 150+ mph. When I replace the fronts I'll probably go R888 all the way around.
I still want good stopping power and the grip in front. Probably best combo would be MPSS's for the front with 4S's in the back.
No drawbacks to running different tires. I run MPSS in the front and Nitto 555Rs in the rear.
Already bought pilot 4s in 285, trying to match fronts to them.
This is what i have installed. No complaints.
Anyone with experience with Firestone Firehawk Indy 500?
I bet they're better than Nitto's G2.
