Softer tires will wear quick and grip more, all else being equal (which I know tread patterns and other factors exist too). Do the manufacturers lie on those treadwear numbers? Probably.
This from the Rack:

"As a result, it is generally only somewhat helpful to compare Treadwear grades on tires from the same manufacturer, and we don’t recommend comparing grades between different brands."
