Hard to tell but it looks like the Kumho is a Non-US tire, so no UTQG.

Huh, Wierd that the Maxxis has one and it's also a non-US tire. Infact, they both look like they have DOT codes as well. I;ve seen other sizes of the HS52s with a grade
The EfficientGrip tires will be your best bet then
Most tires not sold here still have DOT codes since they're basically the de facto standard everywhere, though the UTQG could be less common, especially now that Europe has their new EU Tire Label.
Even race car tires and other non-street tires will have the same DOT code format (production week, factory plant code, etc) but without the word DOT in front of it.

Okay, actually found a couple more that meet my criteria but I think I am going to go with the Maxxis, seems to have the best wet weather reviews of the few I saw.
So does anypony know a reputable shop that will ship to the US?

Any tire from out of the country will cost a lot more to ship here than what is already available here.
Even the Maxxis will cost more than the Goodyears after the shipping cost is included
Goodyear's European tires are actually good.

True, but what isn't expensive tire wise?
The Goodyear EfficientGrip in your size is under $100 each and free shipping
Do you have any aversion to those tires for some reason?
With Maxxis shipped from Europe you'll be spending at least twice as much and still be getting inferior tires.
Both are rated A for rain/wet performance according to the EU Tire Label.
