Don't think so, but not sure about it.
It is a scam really.
Tire company such as Bridgestone sold Mazda the same tires for $100 each, and sell them at $217 on the market.
Most naive customers will replace worn tires with the same brand and model. That is when Bridgestone makes big money.
Bridgestone is not alone in this business model. The same practice can be found in many sectors, and by many brands
in the same sector (such as tires). Printer ink is another good example.
(Same Dueller H/L can be found on Toyota Highlanders as well)
What can one do?
Choose the best tires that fit your needs. Don't insist on replacing them with OE ones.
My boss just replaced the tires on his MB ML for $1400 total (same OE tires).
My new set of Spec-X only cost me about 1/2 that.
I am sure he makes more money than I do, so who care?!
