I have gone through all the low treadwear number tires for the last 5 years or more, but recently newer compounds have better dry grip and higher treadwear numbers.
For Example: The michelin Pilot PS 2 has a treadwear of 220 and yet exceeds almost all previous tires in the 140 to 200 range in dry traction and obviously wear.
The Pilot Sport Cup which I used on many of the new Porsches performes with all the R compound tires but wears pretty good considering its 80 rating.
