Not sure what kind of riding style/habits would result 9000/13000K wear. Weighing 250+ lbs my tires get a workout. If I were getting the lower milage reported by Monk I'd simply stick with MT's. My Dark Side goal was improve mileage and reduced overall cost. I've achieved that! For me it works and the same goes for the front Bridgestone Battelax. Sure footed and great handling when compared to the stock Stones.
This is what I thought was going on. The winter tire and runflats aren't known for long wear.
