I don't think you are going to double your mileage with the sport touring on the rear of a liter bike. I could have gotten 62-6500 out of mine I'm sure but did not want to push it since I knew we had some mountain rides planned. I just fall into the camp of most of us don't ride at the level of needing a supersport tire or our style of riding does not need a supersport tire.
I think it's funny to see riders with supersport tires with ultrasoft compounds on basically street commuters with 3.5" chicken strips on both sides talking about getting those tires cause they needed grip.
