i'm pretty sure it also depends on how you drive. my co-worker with a G35 has some bridgestones with tire rating of 140; he says he needs new ones now that he's over 30k on miles.

another co-worker who bought a camry with stock tires with treadwear rating of 230 (or 260 i forgot). dude drives like a maniac and after 3 months into the car, his tires were already balding.

treadwear rating also is a bit misleading since they are provided byt he manufacture and who knows what the "real" rating is.
