I'm a fan of Continental Motion tires
$160 for BOTH tires and about 10K+ mileage. ($100 to have them mounted and balanced.) (May 2018)
I observe that the rear tire ALWAYS shows metal cords first. It wears out well ahead of the front tire, sooo...
I'm thinking of putting something on the rear (Michelin Power 3 maybe) that will last a little longer.
The goal, here, is to have both tires wear out at the same time AND to keep the cost as low as possible.
Two Questions:
1) does it matter if one mixes tires that way?
2) can anyone recommend a dissimilar combination?
I'll stay with the Conti Motion on the front and try different tires on the back to see which wears out at about the same time as the front. That kind of research will take a lot of time.
