Highest TPI as compared with what cross section of tires? There are many tires out there that have a substantially higher thread count than 180. Beyond that, thread count alone is not necessarily a great way to judge a tire. A tire should also do what you want it to do. Were you specifically looking for a tire that was aggressively side knobbed like the Travel Contact?
