Not sure on treadwear yet, I have only had the R2 for a week. However the 555r1 I got 7k miles out of with lots of light burnouts and launches...the R2 has a bit more tread depth so it should last longer. Overall a great tire that might be the best balance of street tire stability with drag radial grip.

I may have heard of the original 555r hooking better from maybe 1 or two people but also quite a few folks have mentioned the R2 was better. However I do like that the R2 have a higher speed rating than the original which is a plus. How low of a roll do those R2’s hook nicely? If you do lower the air pressure on them and do a dig mind letting me know how they performed?
