Tread Rating

sn0pea · 11-30-2010, 10:12 PM

Quick easy question. I am looking at getting 19'' wheels for my Bmw but I'm worried the prices for tires are going to increase severly. Luckily, I found the Exclaim tires, which seem to be great tires but I would expect them to wear a lot faster than the tires I have on my car right now. The tires I have on my car now are the ContiProContact SSR. But the Conti's have a tread rating of 340 and the Exclaim's have a tread rating of 380. So the question, Is tread rating based on every type of tire, or based on different categories. Basically, Will the Exclaim's last longer than the Conti's?
