Unusual tire question

Ok, this question is the equivalent of the age old "how many licks does it take to get the to center of a tootsie pop?"

For simplicity sakes, how much is total mileage you can get out of tire reduced if it's ridden 2 up for the duration of it's life?

Say one did an experiment, by keeping all variables the same from bike, tire, route, and rider in controlled experiment A, than in B just added a passenger with an identical set of new tires as used in test A, would there be a significant reduction in mileage by adding the passenger?
