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.

Got them mounted today. I like them a lot.
Pros: Excellent ride quality. Great grip. Really deep tread. Very cool tread design. Cons: Very soft compound. So far Im really happy with them. Time will only tell how long they will last, but I think I made a good decision. -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned
