Your half way there! Load em up on your spare rims. Then, if you feel you are using them too much, just swap back and forth.
That said, I tended to measure my R comps in "track days"... Compared to the mileage on the track, street driving is very easy on tires. Most of the wear is from Camber settings. That said, on both the 911 and Boxster, I couldnt get enough negative camber in the front, and thus, I wore out fronts much more quickly than the rears on Both cars.
I am not the best barometer on R comp wear. I would get "one season" - say.. 6-8 autocrosses and 4-5 DE events (10 track days) at best. Sometimes 2 sets of tires for the longer "seasons".
