Examining The Differences Between OE tires And Their ‘Exact Duplicate’ Replacements
It wasn’t too long ago that the general consensus was that the only reasons a carmaker chose a particular tire as OE was appearance and cost – it had to look good in the showroom and it had to be cheap. Even if that was true then, things are different today. As vehicles have evolved to become lighter, more fuel-efficient and more responsive, original equipment tires have changed, too. Tire weight and rolling resistance have been reduced and handling has improved.
