Nope. You can see this very easily in the extreme case of when you track a vehicle and drive hard. Those 500+ TW tires will shred extremely fast compared to a low TW tire intended for such an environment. They can't hold the Gs and as they slide they are like cheese on a grater. If you were also heating the cheese to Velveta consistency.Are you saying that if you drive hard, the 320 rated tire could last as long as the 500 rated tire?? I don't think so. I think if you drive hard, any tire will wear faster and the life will still be approximately proportional to the TW rating.
People around here have photos of the MXM4 getting absolutely destroyed in a single day where as say a set of 140 TW Pilot Sport Cup tires will last you several days.
There's more to it than simply the TW number to figure out how fast a tire will wear in some given situation.
