To get grip you lose rubber - to get long life you conserve rubber so lose grip.

It's simple Physics
Um.. I think you're a bit right there, but as I understand it tyres also generate grip by the tread flexing, hence as they wear they loose grip. So although you need to decide on grip v wear, the best engineered tyres will wear less than a poorly made tyre, while also having superior grip.

I'd rather buy a cheaper to run car than cheaper tyres
