Realize that treadwear ratings are proprietary values that are not accurately comparable across tire brands. It's a voodoo number the tire companies make up to meet criteria (like DOT certification) and to compare wear ratings within their brand lineup.

If you think the Super Sports are going to last appreciably longer than RE-11s or even the older PS2, you're going to be disappointed. That treadwear rating of 300 means zilch.

That being said, I'm sure they will be phenomenal tires. Certainly on my list in the future if the RE-11s don't keep me as thrilled as they currently do.
