I need a new rear tire. Should I get the Evo or S20 regular to match with my stock (S20) front tire. I know some recommend new sets but I'm just going to buy one tire. The Evo is only $5 more.

Neither will be the same as your OEM S20, so it doesn't matter.

OEM S20 vs. S20 vs. S20 Evo

What mileage did or are you getting? Is the Evo that much better in wear? Bridgestone claims 22% longer wear but is this true? I know it depends on the rider. Based on my riding I got 3400 miles out of the rear before the tread pattern started to flatten out. The tread is still visible, clearly, but I wouldn't trust these in the rain. The front tire has about 40% left.
