Futhermore treadwear does not directly correlate to overall grip. While they may have some relation to one another, they are not directly related.
The only way to know the performance of a tire for sure is to test them yourself.

Agreed! This is why many of the 200 tw tires now are as fast as 100 tw. They cost the same too! My last track day I was able to out run a similar Miata and a driver with a similar skill and he was on brand new NT01 and I was on used set of Rival s.
The Toyo RRs are still the preferred tire for Miatas.
