Think the best mileage is from Z6 or maybe now the Pilot Road 2. Personally I don't see the problem mixing. I mean what's the front wheel got to do with the rear wheel? (unless you are relying on the front wheel doing all the rain clearing for the rear tyre like a Diablo Strada- but surely any front should be clearing water as much as possible)

Don't see how 2 up riding wears a tyre, it's just mileage and esp. acceleration & braking I suppose there's more weight that needs to gain/lose momentum, but you shouldn't be sliding so much at the rear 2 up. More down to riding style.
And you're always going to wear the centre of a rear tyre. The 2CT properties of the pilot road 2 try to allieviate it though.
