Hello!
As my "old" tyres is very old ( rear is dot - marked as 1993 year? :-O ). i decide to buy a new, because 90/90-18 front and 110/90-18 rear is very rare, and i cannot find locally second hand ones.
i already order Michelin Pilot Activ for front ( who, maybe not best choice, because it have no many central tread grooves, who is, i think, helpful on that country unpavned roads, where is time to time driving), and there is a question about rear tyre.
i have choices of
Avon AM26 - 67,-
Bridgestone BT45 - 72,-
Continental Contigo - 62,-
Continental TKV12 - 62,-
Dunlop ARROWMAX STREETSMART - 62,-

i drive mostly calmless, not hard and fast, mostly on asphalt pawned roads, but regularly some time ( about 100 or so kilometres in year) on unpawned country roads with sandy surface, where is sometimes hard to drive, because wheels hardly take a direction, and have some "float" on the sands. my everyyear driving distance is about 3000 - 5000 kilometres, and i also want a tyres who not very fast wear out.
what do you offer me based on that?
