    • one tire has a UTQG of 500aa a the other has UTQG of 280a I just bought rear tires with utqg of 240aa a
    • the higher # the longer last and harder they are. i got 240 because i want grip they will last under 5000 miles with me maybe under 3000 miles yet the ones on c320 wagon are hankook with utqg of 500aa a high speed hard rubber and will last a long time,, some high performance cars (mercedes and bmw) factory the utqg is 180 ,, they grip like hell in corners and from a dead take off on and off the track and they cost more. example you have hears people that have corvette's and bmw's complain their tires wear out all the time that is why . jim
