If u aint changing front, then its recommended to have the same tyres on both front and rear, so would be Pirelli..

Rear same as front but if it got loads of tread left get it plugged mate, sure there are peeps on here had it done no prob

Depends where the nail is.... if its on the middle band of the tyre it should be fine plugged..... 8)

Will ask Jota, hes had his supercorsa plugged with no probs.

Depends on your intended use ...

the BT 021s have according to the tests been slightly overtaken by the Dunlop roadsmarts and the Michellin PilotRoad 2 ...

But they're sports-touring tyres ..

Its not wise to have two different manu's rubber on your bike mate, cos their compounds wear differently.. to answer your question on the Bridgestones, i ran 014's front and rear on my Blade, the rear was gone within 3000 miles. so i emailed Bridgestone to see what they would recommend to give me better mileage, i now have the 014 on the front with an 021 on the rear, its a cracking combination with great grip in dry or wet...hth
