Commuting Miles on CX Tires

I, like many others, have built up a bike to serve several purposes. My original goal was to have a solid commuter, but now I've put some Michelin Jets on it and absolutely have to try my hand at racing CX. Since I used my spare wheelset to build this bike, I don't have seperate "commuter" and "cyclocross" wheelsets.

Will I absolutely wear out my CX tires with 20-30 miles a week of light commuting on the road?

I suppose I COULD put my city tires on my road wheels and keep my CX wheels for races/training but then I get into a whole Campy/Shimano cassette can of worms.

I'm a little reluctant to put too many road miles on my Jets. What's the reality?
