John, they previously had a UTQG rating of 220, at least the last set I bought were - now, they're listed at 340. I haven't mounted mine yet (I'm waiting for new wheels to arrive) but I'm hoping that the higher numbers reallly correlate with a longer life. I'd hope to get more than 20k miles out of these - it would be nice if I could hit 30k. I really like these tires, though, and a perusal of the TireRack site shows that the Michelin Sports (also a ultra-high performance rating), which have a similar tread design (not sure of the compound), are more expensive and are only UTQG rated at 220. The same goes for the S03's. I would assume from the readers' feedback that all three tires are pretty much equal in performance, both wet and dry.
