You probably know about this already

Tire Review - UTQG: Is it the Beginning of the End for the Regs No One Wa...

Plus a couple other Internet pages echoing the same thing, seems like the UTQG rating has wiggle room as long as manufacturer can justify it. My understanding is that there isn't a direct mathematic translation between UTQG rating and mileage (although one can estimate)

So my question is what's the difference in life expectancy of 140 vs 200 really?

Sry a bit off topic.....I do not know whether hankook changed the compound however.
