You can read about UTQG ratings here. It's basically the wear rating.. or how long the tire will last. The lower the number, the stickier the tire, but the quicker it wears out.

A 140 rating is on the threshold of what would be considered a street tire, and lower than that is generally regarded as an R Compound (or racing tire), and usually regarded as such in autosport classes.
