Experiences with 200 Treadwear rating?

I'm considering replacing my current tires, NT450, which are balding, with a set of Falken Azenis Sport now that the winter is ending. Does anyone have experience with tires with a 200 rating, preferably under daily driving uses only with the occasional spirited turning. The NT450s, I was able to draw out about 35-40k miles, and they are a 300 rating. I know that the 200 rating is suppose to be 1/3 less treadlife than a 300 rating, but I was looking for a more solid number in terms of mileage if anyone has had experience with a 200-220 treadwear tire.

tread ratings differ company to company. I had Falken 115s and they were lot stickier than my Nittos but wore out faster. They are quieter than Nittos too. I recommend using during spring/summer/fall. It's still pretty cold and tires don't stick as good.

Azenis....r-215 is going to last 10,000 to 15,000 miles depending on the use and how low you run them.... most of the autoX guys I know run them until the cord... rain use will be over in about 5,000 miles .... the 200 wear rating on those tires are for SCCA street tire rules....
