I am an engineer with a major American OEM tire manufacturer (choosing to not say which one). It is true that OEM tires wear out quicker than replacements. It is a fact, not just someone's imagination. And, I will also say that Michelins crack sooner than any others on the market. Aside from that, this is an interesting thread.
So... if I go to a car dealer to replace tires (sometimes they have really good deals), and the guy there asks if I want the same tires that came with the car new, are those going to be the faster wearing OEM tires? Or "normal" tires of the same brand and model? Or would it depend on the dealer?
