It's a relative #, not an absolute. The reference is some gov't approved standard with a treadwear rating of 100. A tire with a rating of 300 will wear 3 times as long as the standard. Of course, your mileage may vary. :)
With my moderately aggressive driving style, I get about 100 miles per wear point, ie, a 200 tread wear tire lasts me about 20k miles, a 300 tread wear lasts about 30k miles. Certainly a lower treadwear # tire is softer, and should have better grip, but that doesn't mean that higher ones (200-300) are rocks; they are very soft compared to standard pass. car tires. Go with a Z-rated, 300 treadwear tire and you'll have a good compromise. Look for traction/temp ratings of AA A if you want an extra bit of "cushion".
