Tread wear ratings Options

[lagos]

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?

kumho ASX tires are pretty much bottom-end tires. the nittos are still pretty cheap though. We don't sell a lot of nitto tires at my work so I'm not very familiar with them, but nobody really has anything good to say about kumho tires at all.

I got some yokohama AVS ES100's for free. they had about 4-5/32" on all of them when I got them. and within about 2 weeks, the front left tire had about 2/32". I rotated them back to front, and after only a few more weeks, now the the one I put on the left front has about 2/32" as well. boost is the destroyer of tires! lol. I'm gonna flip the tires so I can put the best tires on the left side now, hopefully that'll get me another 3-6 weeks of tire life before they're all at 2/32", hopefully giving me enough time to save up for wheels and tires.
