Default Tyre to match an OE Dunlop?

Hey guys

I bought my 2010 SV650S, and on it are the OEM Dunlop D220s.
I'm not nearly fast enough to push these tyres to their limit, but I don't hear good things about them anyway.
I've put about 3000 miles on the bike in a short space of time, but the bike has completely chewed through the rear whilst the front has more or less kept.
After sieving through the internet, I can only assume the D220 has been discontinued, which makes me trying to get a new rear a bit of an issue.
I've been told it is a BAD idea to mix and match tyres, especially if they're different brands, but would it be okay to get a similar sport touring Dunlop tyre on the rear?
This is just until I wear out both the front and the rear and then I can get myself some BT-023s or some T30s
