Its not there cos the UTQG is only compulsory if its sold in certain countries such as USA / Europe.

Perhaps the batch for this region is different from the USA / Europe region but nowadays, the EU has come up with new Tyre Readings.

New EU Tyre label is explained here. If u have time, go to the Tyre websites in UK and see their label. Its an eye opener. Michelin does well in Wet Braking compared to other models

speaking of which i own 2 sets (8 pieces lol, on 2 cars) of c drive 2 and i dont believe ive come across their treadwear rating either.

on the top of my head, IINM its in the 200-300 rating as there are c drive 2 sold in EU/america regions as well and it is compulsory over there than it is here.

either way these are really soft tires so don't have high expectations on the treadwear.
