Will an all season tire wear faster than a summer tire?</td></tr></table><span id='postcolor'>
I say try the Ziex so that you can tell me how they are later on : )

Seriously though, a UTQG of around 400ish sounds perfect to me for a commuter tire on a 240. Sure, a 620 utqg tire will last forever but it'd be a shame to have such a nice handling car with rocks on the wheels. The intermediates won't last any longer than Azenis. So, I guess, those Avid T4s sound like what I would get. I'm pretty sure the Ziex are rated at 340 (H) and 300 (V,Z ).
