Topic: 160 degrees on racetrack @thill. tirewear higher number better?

Talked to a buddy who raced at thill last week and guys running spec Miata were running 10 second slower lap times due to tires slidding all over. They run slicks/ 40 treadwear.

I'm curious if like a 300 treadwear would do better
Looking for feedback thx
