Tyres - which wear faster on these, front or back?

It’s in the title.

-3 punctures, 3 weeks ownership, conclusion - this car is one massive magnet

Also, has anyone faced massive issues running pss4's on one Axel and pzr's on the other for a while while I make the transition

Pretty even I'd say. For as long as I can remember I've run same front and back. Just bought 4 x MPS 4S for £931 with £100 back from Michelin

On mine the fronts wore slightly more compared to the rears, only 1mm-1.5mm difference. Wish Michelin did the £100 cash back when I purchased my PS4S's, I paid £940 for a set of four last July. They're a great tyre and I'm really pleased with them, you shouldn't have any issues running dissimilar brands on different axles.
