could somebody explain the UTQG system to me a little better than they do on tirerack? at http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tirete....jsp?techid=48 they make it sound like the treadwear number is something you can't really go by.

p.s. Stock tires are Bridgestone Potenza's.

The UTQG rating are not standardized across the industry so pretty much worthless when comparing between brands. Apples vs Oranges.
