    although i have no experience of other makes, i really like my Pirelli sport demons that seem to have phenomenal levels of grip and very grippy in the wet
    onwards and upwards and sometimes a little sidewards....

    I have these on the front too - but it should be OK until the next rear tyre change

    Bridgestone 021's. Great tyre, long life great grip.

    No tyre expert but I think you'll find most manufacturers dont recommend mixing different brands of tyres front and rear (I know some people do though) so why not match what you have on the front this time and get a new matching pair next time?

    I'm a serial bike changer and have ridden bikes with loads of different tyres and dont honestly think for the average rider/road use any of the top decent brands are hugely different.

    The only tyres I did have which gave noticeable fantastic wet grip were Michelin PR 3's.

    Some tyres are better suited to certain bikes too.

    MCN do some tyre reviews - Google should help.

    We both like the Pilot Road 2's in our house but like many things there do seem to be a wide range of views.
