ahh.. don't do that.
a huge treadwear = less grip. ie, some goodyear tires have a treadwear rating of 760 or even 800. You don't get much grip on dry with those. |

I'm not sure what the rating is on my OEM Goodyear LS tires is but they have unbelievably poor dry grip. I've never heard so much ABS chatter on dry roads. Oddly, they're good in the wet but at the same time horrendously useless, downright scary on the slightest hint of snow.
