Treadwear means nothing. The Continental Extreme Contact DW is a UTQG of 340 and out performs many higher performance summer tires. The fact remains that the Primacy HP is not a "performance" tire, but rather chosen because they offer decent feedback and allow some slipping for lower speed limits--they were certainly not selected because they are a common tire or because they are inexpensive (TR has the 225/45-17 at $224/tire, vs $129 for the same size ECDW).
