A 180 tire has the best tread wear?

Even the Bridgestone Potenza RE-71R (the current darlings) are rated at 200 as was "last year's model," the RE-11A.

If you're using this as a summer tire as I am, though, tread wear really doesn't factor as I'm sure I'll get a couple of summers out of my RE-11As. For a daily driver, though, a 180 or 200 tire will wear out fast (in terms of time).

Your criteria all contradict themselves... You will never find the cheapest tire with the best treadwear that wins overall.
You have to sacrifice 2/3. Which one is more important to you?
