The treadwear ratings mean pretty much zilch as far as consistency.
Speaking of arbitrary treadwear numbers, the SCCA guys have a hunch that we'll be seeing more 200TW tires soon because rules are changing and limiting street tire classes to 200TW instead of 140. I have no idea how true that is, but Hancook has already changed their popular tire from 140 to 200, supposedly because it was wearing better than expected. Still that is really only good news for us guys with little bicycle tire sized 295s.
