Check out tirerack.com for reviews of various tires and an explanation of how to predict tread life using the tire's tread wear ratings. -- Ray O (correct punctuation to reply)

Tires have a rating on them that goes something like 400AA, where 400 represents the tread /wearlife, the first A is the traction, and the second A is the tendency to generate heat. The A's have a range of A to C, C is low. The 400 has a range also, 400 is near the high end, but there are higher numbers, but there are more lower numbers. A cheap tire rated at 260CC would not be any good, and a tire rated at 520AA would be excellent.
