Treadwear Rating?
Discussion
I've run fairly high performance tyres for the last 15 years, with a treadwear rating of 250-350, however now I'm doing high mileage again, wanted something that will last longer than 20k miles.
The new tyres have a treadwear rating of 500, but is there anything higher available, that isn't a taxi driver ditch finder?

I wouldn't put too much faith in the treadwear number as a direct indicator of performance, as I understand it, it's largely something the tyre manufacturers self-declare anyway.
I would go by reviews and the recommendations of people who use a similar car in a similar way.

Buy a good quality "touring/comfort" biased tyre & with reasonable driving you should easily get that.
Mrs E's Mazda 2 was bought at 24k miles and is now on 48k on the same set of Goodyear Eagle F1 Assy 2's with around 5mm tread left.

I put 4 Michelin Primacy 4 on my car 22k ago, and they are barely half worn.
Definitely not ditchfinders.
