Tom, good site. I added it to my favorites.
Plumcrazy, here's an easy way to remember UTQG (Uniform Tire Quality Grade)
This is the system the Tire Rack uses and it's the way the IL VCA matrix is set up.
A UTQG of 140 and above is a street tire. Below 140 is a competition tire. The lower the number the softer the tire. Here are some UTQG examples
Michelin Pilot Sport- 220
Goodyear Eagle F1 Supercar- 220
Pirelli PZero Rosso Direzionale- 160
Michelin MXX3- 140
Pirelli PZero Asimmetrico- 140
Michelin Pilot Sport Cup- 80
Kumho V700- 50
Hoosier R3SO3- 40

Here's a link to the Tire Rack review of the tire you were asking about

Click on "specs" and it shows you the UTQG
