Ahhduma, super tire chart! Makes me want to consider getting those Michelin Pilot Super Sports even more now and storing em till I need them because of the price being so low now. I guess they are near the top of the heap after all despite their "newness".
I'm curious if the Tire Rack rep was accurate when he said that the great wear rating should be viewed from the standpoint of the tires' category, ie. "high performance" which suggests faster wear relative to the "non" high performance segment. I suspect that he was. Maybe a call to Michelin will confirm either way. I'll check it out.
its true. similar to car crash ratings. otherwise these ultra performance summer will never get greens on wet ratings or tire life, etc
