I don't know how you can relate treadlife ratings to one another. These are also pretty mediocre to kind of bad in wet conditions.
Adboninal,

Try TOYO Proxes T-1S tires. I did not use them on the track but they were the "grippiest " tires that I ever had. They lasted 22,000 miles. After about 8-10K mlies, they became very noisy. I assuame that they have a dual compound tread. They were great in rain and so-so to fair in snow. Good Luck.

PS: I used them on the SVX stock rim size and had them about 2 years. I belive they cost $732 (w/6% NJ tax) mounted and balanced.
