Dunlop Roadsmarts S/T are touring tyres; they can have duel compound as well, but wouldn't be my choice.
If it's just your rear, then either live with it until the front needs changing or bite the bullet and get a set, either way make sure the stickiest is on the front, the standard D220's are fairly limited but OK for what they are.
Having used several sets of each, I'd be looking at either
Mez Z6's,
diablo strada's
Avon storms
and with care you could well double that mileage, any of the above will be much better than the D220's you currently have and are sport touring tyres.
Read some of the reviews in the tyre section (which is what it's for).
Cheers Mark.
