Xt-R Tyre replacements

Just noticed my original rear Michelin Sirac on my '04 XT-r is absolutley shot after 7000km/4250 miles. These tyres are very good on dry roads, pegs on floor etc(4.5/5) Not too good on wet roads having almost lost both the front and rear on numerous occasions (2/5) and pretty average in the dirt (3/5). The front still has plenty of tread left but I cant find anywhere that sells em down here in SW France. Has anyone got any ideas for a better performing allround Tyre that I can Match up with the front Sirac still on? Ive got the feeling I'll be going through these at a ratio of 3 rears to 2 fronts or maybe even 2 rears to 1 front.

Bear in mind the Front is a 21 inch on the R.

Any advice will be aprecciated.

Thanks, Steve
