Is it true that you really cant compare tread wear ratings from one brand of tire to the next? My current tire has a 400 tread and lasted me exactly 2yrs of boosted fun, with pretty good traction. For my next set im thinking of picking up a set of Nitto NeoGens. Problem is that they are only rated at 280 tread, and Im worried i wont be able to get at least 2yrs out of them. They seem to be getting rave reviews, despite the low wear rating.
Opinions?

alot of tire wear comes from scrub in turning, and of course spinning them.

i think you will get that life from them. they seem to be a better compound than khumo.

in my opinion, any descent tire will outlast a khumo and have more consistent performance grip wise.

the t1r's i have now that im waiting to wear out to trow on some new wheels/tires are takin a while. they have 20+miles on them now and still kickin.

i think you will be very happy with them =)
