That's just the UTQG treadwear rating and has nothing (directly) to do with a tires performance other than a tire with very good traction should wear quicker, as expected, and vice versa. A 340 rating means that the tire will wear 3.4x less than the control tire on the 7200 mile test for rating. A 400 rating would be 4x. Since it is not truly a standardized test, the margin of error could easily be large enough that a 340 tire and 400 tire would wear the same.
