Firetruck, you seem to be able to comprehend the difference between the 2, even if they share the same aspect ratio.
Greg,
If my data came from just 100's, rather than vehicles with similar suspension, weight, and terrain use, the 100 fares worse in the figures for bad wear, mainly because of the IFS wearing the front outer edges, especially lifted, as the a arms make the front tyre move in and out, as the suspension goes up and down, and side slope lean and understeer when deflated, because of the extra weight.
We have developed our own wheel alignment specs for the 100 ifs, and the 120 prado/GX470/new forerunner which prevents this wear from happening also, from our data and research.
Given we do rotate balance and alignment free and as part of the tyre sales ongoing, [which help us track what goes on, and document it on the customers warranty card as well as our system] as well as check pressures, we keep pretty good records of tread wear vs km vs pressures, vs use, so apart from the tyres i continually rotate across my vehicles for testing, and the customers vehicles we take on wheeling trips and desert trips weeks at a time to monitor these things in real time, [240+ cars on trips in last 2 years] we have data, so unlike your conjecture on what "could" happen, and what we "might not" know, and what one person may get, or not get, Im using data for my comments from a bigger core sample than one, making the results more consistant.
Thats the good thing about forums, when a question is asked, you will get opinion, experience, and suggestion, the art is being able to proccess this information correctly, rahter than just question opposing views to your own.

You don't know because you weren't with those people. Lot's of people have tires that wear quicker than others, and a lot of those people don't take care of their tires properly and cause a lot of that pre-mature wear themselves.
You make this blanket statement on 255's:
But then make this statement after that:
And then, follow up with this:
You don't make sense.
