But who cares? They are now three generations out of date. You wont get the same mileage, grip or handling that any modern ST tyre will give so your final cost per mile, even at discounted rates, will not be much better. Even at £140 a set, 021's will give 5000 reasonable miles at 2.8 pence per mile. £240 will get you T30 evo's which are good for 8500 miles or more with better grip so costing you 2.83 pence a mile.
I will just wade in on the T30s and say that I've had them on my bike for only 3500 and and the rear is down to 1.6mm and the front has started squaring off so I would imagine it greatly depends on your riding style and use
