Man lots of misinformation you have. UTQG is not a standard between manufacturers. The numbers cannot be compared between different manufacturers. Generally the lower number means stickier tires but less tread life, that’s it. Nothing regarding how many miles per 100 UTQG. Nothing wrong with $800 tires. I’m running the General GMax AS-05. Many prefer non RF because the ride is better. If you have food insurance or AAA or feel like carrying around fix a flat or tire plugs, maybe go with non RF tires. As you can see, they’re generally cheaper.

You mentioned 20k a year... get ready for almost yearly tire changes. Maybe look into getting a set of square wheels in order to rotate.
