New tyre/s needed

So my rear tyre is pretty much gone, should last another 2 to 3 weeks max i would have thought, front tyre is still in perfect shape so i dont really want to replace it unless i really have to, also its more money that i just dont have at the moment.

So i need a new rear tyre, never had any problem with the stock dragon except its only last 2k miles (would like twice that really) found it plenty sticky enough in the dry and not to bad in the wet (remember i only use the bike for commuting)

What can i go for on the rear if i stay with the existing dragon front, is there a slightly tuffer compound from the same manufacturer or do i really have to ditch a perfectly good front tyre and get a set

In my old bandit 1200 days i always ran two different compound tyres on it, a soft one on the front for corner grip and a harder on the rear to get some mileage out of it

Any input guys??
