I'd agree... in fact if you are riding a mix of tarmac and dirt trails, I doubt any bike tyre will last that sort of distance, certainly not offering anything like grip by the end...
As a comparison, I used TKC80s pretty much the whole time I was in the USA, and reckoned on about 4000 miles (6500kms) from a rear, and around 7000 miles (11250 kms) from the front - so with any luck you'll get away with just one front tyre on your trip?
But there is no problem getting a tyre while you're on the road - if all else fails, just pre order one and get it shipped to a DHL (or similar) office at approximately half distance?
You have to remember tyres are consumables... and hey, what if you trashed one on a sharp rock or pothole etc - you'd have to hunt for a replacement then anyway?
Have fun!
