What is the treadwear on a set of pilot sports? the tires that im getting when i get my volks in a couple of weeks are 280 (t1's) and iw as just wondering how many miles should they last me with me driving moderately hard

the pilot sports are 220. However, the treadwear ratings should be taken with a grain of salt especially between different manufacturers.

 

Treadwear is a function of load and load index also. If you want longer life in the same tire just changes sizes to get a higher load index. Roughly the gain [%] in load index is reflected in the same or greater {%} of life extension, some times adding 6% [increased load safety margin] can get you 10-12% even 20% increase in tire life due to lower peak internal [where tread block attaches to tread carcass] temperatures.

Lots depends on how /what wears them......spinning burn outs or road roughness slewing..........modern roads surfaces[ rough ashpalt] are designed [byproduct of it] to wear tires fast to improve wet grip!

Kind of counter to improving automobile mileage increased road friction.......but wet kills on a smooth low friction roadway.

 

well i dotn really launch my car. I chirp the occasional gear and get sideways occasionally (mostly when its wet out), but i realize that that changes the life of my tires. I just didnt want to get tires that i would be replacing in 8k miles or somehting
