what is a good tread wear on tires for daily driven and a lil track/drag strip use?

I checked and the Kumho Supra Ecsta with 280 tread wear...

i have no clue what that means.

The treadwear rating is grossly overrated. It is meaningless to compare treadwear ratings between brands. It is only used as an internal reference number -- if Dunlop X has 100 treadwear, and Dunlop Y has 200 treadwear, the Y model should last twice as long.

Good tires have been discussed 100 times -- use a search. My personal fav for a budget tire is the Dunlop SP8000, which is being discontinued. I got over 15k out of my last set, including three track events and six auto-x, and they grip well in dry or wet.

Pretty much, the best tires are: Toyo T1-S, Bridgestone S-03/S-02, Goodyear GS-D3, Yokohama AVS Sport, BFG KD/KDW, Michelin Pilot Sport, and Pirelli Pzero. If you want to spend less, you can usually go down one step in a manufacturer's hierarchy and still be ok, but some of the above tires are pretty cheap as it is.

I've heard from a few that the new Potenza RE750s are very good for the price.

Great tire is also the BFG Comp T/A for the price. Had them on my car for probably 10k miles and have worn them prob 75% to the tread bars. Probably 60% worn if you feel the need to run the till they are BALD, but who wants to hydroplane now, seriously, haha.

I previously had 245/45/16 Dunlop SP8000s for almost 3 years. Good overall tire.

If you find the right dealer, Toyo T1s can be remarkably affordable... and they are super light.
