If you ride in the rain, I like any sport touring tire like Mich.Pilot Road 5 or Pirelli Angel GT. I'm sure there are more that are similar.
For a more sport feeling, I like Pirelli Diablo Rosso III or Bridgestone S21.
For a more performance tire, I don't know.
I think you don't need to have matching tires. Front and rear tires work differently. If you're front has less grip, you risk more when you brake (with the front brake) and when you get into the turn. If your rear has less grip, it may slip during the turn or getting out of the turn.
I have to replace my rear too. I'm between the Pilot Road 5 and the Diablo Rosso III.
Right now I have a set of Pilot Road 3. The rear lasted 8000 miles, mainly street, some track. I ride a N300 (still). Hopefully will upgrade soon.
