You have to be very careful with any manufacturer when it comes to OEM. In most cases the same make and model tire fitted at the factory is very different (worse) than the same make and model sold as a replacement.

Same case with the Potenzas that came with the Subaru, absolute crap as OEM but good enough for the C&D top 10 as replacements.

I had an article about this little know practice somewhere I'll try to find.
