Default Which tyres? Again.

I have D220's (stock) The rear needs replacing - the front is fine at 4K miles. I want a compatible tyre to the D220 as that is too expensive and not a brilliant tyre to boot! Any suggestions? When the front wears out I shall get a matched pair probably but for now would like advice on getting a back that is similar in grip etc and not too expensive. Otherwise I might have to ditch the front and look for a good pair deal. Thanks.

Ditch both and put Sportstouring tyres on!

They are all about the same and provide similar levels of grip.
The oldest is Diablo Strada's (yes they are still in production) which are cheap and good single compounds, but the best going are Pilot road2/ 3, Roadsmarts 1/2 and Avon Storms (either generation).
