      It was supposed to be (the U int UTOG) but in reality it's not.

      It is good for judging within a company.. for example a 100tw Nitto NT01 a 200tw NT05 and a 300tw NT555.

      It gets a bit more grey when you compare between companys.

      Even a tire like the PS2 from Michillin has different compounds in regard to special OEM runs. That's why there are two of some sizes.
