Ignore treadwear ratings. They mean absolutely nothing. Although, a new
Honda Civic's tires probably will outlast the AVS intermediate, it won't
be by as much as you might expect based on the tire ratings. The AVSi has
about as good of a treadlife as you can expect considering the softness of
the compound.
