It is time to replace my rear tire. It currently has a Michelin Pilot on the back. The front is original. Anyone have any advice on what I should replace it with?

Thanks.

I just had a flat and decided to buy a backup spare in case my patch doesn't hold. I bought another Michelin Gold Standard from these guys: BikeBandit.com

Total price was $86 including shipping. Best price I could find anywhere. (I change my own tires)

+1 on the Gold Standards. They wear like iron but stick well. My original set lasted 12,875 before I replaced both.
