The treadwear number relates to a standardized tire wear with an index of 
100.  So a tire that has Treadwear 350 will have a tread life 3.5 times as 
long as the standard tire.  I've never seen an actual number to relate to 
the standard but everyone I know goes by this rule of thumb:  For every 100 
in the treadwear rating expect 12-15,000 miles of treadwear.
I use Bridgestone Potenzas and am happy with them on the street.  Never had 
reason to change, so I can't compare them to others.
