Default Best tires for a 21/18 setup???

In dire need of a new rear tire and have no idea which to buy. Ones I just had on were Avons(recommended by Hogpro when I bought the wheels), which I liked but sure didn't seem to last too long. I'll trade some performance for a little durability. Any recommendations out there would be greatly appreciated, thanks!!!

Been running Metzeler 880 on my 21 front and get about 10-11k miles. On my 18 rear I've tried Metzeler 880 standard and reinforced (7-8k each) Bridgestone Battalax (5k) and now running a Pirelli Night Dragon but only have 1500 miles so far. All have handled well but I wish they would last a little longer.

My advice is run what ever you can buy. I had to order my last set of metzlers from two different venders. That was three weeks ago and the front tire is still not in. Good luck
