Need new Tyres

I've got BT021's at the minute and whilst I've not anything to compare them too they've got more than enough grip for me currently and are great in the wet.

My rear needs replacing so I'll stick with these for now, maybe the 023 actually. I may change both next time but my front is fine so no point ditching it.
 
Cheers guys,

Just checking that link Wazza, narrowed it down to either: (Set)

Bridgestone BT016 Pro
Bridgestone S20 EVO
Metzeler Racetec RR K3
Pirelli Diablo Rosso II (I've used them since owning the bike and they've not let me down)
 
Everything I've read about the bt016 and like is that they wear quickly so it depends on your riding style and expectations.

They take longer to get up to temperature so will be weaker up until that point. And if you're not making use of the softer compound by pushing it then you'll just burn through them quickly with not much added benefit.

For me 99.9% of my riding is my commute so the bt021/23 makes sense - I could go for something super sticky but I just wouldn't feel the benefit.

I'd be surprised if you got more than 5k out of them which isn't good enough for me due to my mileage.
