OK, Nittos have the 300 on the NT555 Extreme Performance and the Conti Sports have a treadwear of 160. Do the Nittos have a better wear factor(?) than the Contis?

The sizes would be in the wide 18" tire sizes...

Steve,oit all depends on the exact tire. Initially a higher number is intended to indicate longer treadwear, but there are no standards. Thus some Bridgestone tires that have a 300 rating last 40,000 miles while goodyear tires with a 620 rating may last the same, thus they are useless for the most part.
