Seriously why can't they use something else that's half descent and wont wear out in like one year?
*sigh* ~shakes head~

As mentioned above grip and wear is a compromise. You want a tire that's last get a touring tire, not a performance tire...it just won't grip. Also different size tires may have different tread wear ratings even though it's the exact same model. Majority of them are 160AA but several of them are 360AA, the higher the number the longer it will last.

Looks like the OE size on the Genesis coupe is P225/40YR19 front & P245/40YR19 rear but those sizes aren't listed in the RE92 specs. Call the dealer and ask them what the tread wear is or just tell them to put the tire you want on there as part of the deal.
