eldaino,
300 treadwear is plenty high enough for a performance tire IMO

I used to run Bridgestone Potenza S-02 Pole Positions, 205/45R16. That was a phenomenal tire with unflappable grip in any Philippine road condition (read: no snow or ice but lots of rain). But three things knocked it for me:
1) it's rather old...mine were made 2001, not sure if Bridgestone still makes 'em new
2) 180 treadwear
3) the noise...THE NOISE

One of them suffered sidewall damage due to a rim-bending incident with a runaway wheel chock. Replaced them with Toyo Proxes 4s, same size...and yep, 300 treadwear
