Then you are leaning towards the wrong bike on both counts. The 250L will be terrible to ride on the highway with fast Cali traffic. Completely tapped out by 75 mph and blowing all over the place. The dual sport tires won't last. I got 17,000 out of my stock rear on my CBR250R and the front is about half worn. The stock tires are fantastic. And the canyon racers of both the CBR and the Ninja300 which has the same size, take them off without even trying them because they think they have to have a street racing tire. Fresh take offs can be had all day long for $100 per set.
