They will only get you into the ballpark. It is very possible to find a 300 and a 200 tire that will both wear at the same rate. This is largely because tire manufacturers are free to rate a tire at a lower number that the tire really is. Also treadwear ratings do not necessarily reflect "gripiness". cv129, Hotrodz and charjohnnie like this. __________________ '11 370Z Nismo #528 Fast Intentions \| Stillen \| Motordyne \| Uprev \| CSF \| Zspeed \| Z1 Motorsports \| AST \| Swift \| SPC \| SPL \| Whiteline \| Hotchkis \| Bride \| Schroth \| Robispec \| Cusco \| Nismo \| Volk \| Forgestar \| Hoosier \| RJM '17 Titan Bone Stock
