Nothing wrong with mixing tyres, but personal preference and all that.You want longevity then pr3's, I've not had less than 15000 out the rear on the 3 I've had! They cost a little more but in the long run are cheaper per mile and nt at the forfeit of grip!
Ooooh, if you get the PR3's it would be nice to try them out on your bike Thinking about them for my next set potentially

As other posters have pointed out , this whole tyre thing is in your head. not sure how tyres can be defined as boring, If you want good mileage stick to sports touring , if you want to tear around grounding footrests get sports tyres. simple choice, 33 bhp should not stress tyres anyhow. tyres are like oils.spark plugs , screens very subjective!

I had 13k out of my rear PR2, only replaced it due to a puncture and it had plenty of tread left Managed 21k on the front before I had both replaced.
I've used Dunlop Roadsmarts for the last 3 years. Admittedly on a much heavier bike (R1100s) though - but they worked fine on my CBR600, so reckon I might try them out on this too. Always found they stick like poop to a blanket and very good in the wet.
just done 700 miles on pilot road 3s and they are superb much better than the bt23s they replaced edge to edge performance great feedback 110 out of 100.
