Those are what my car came with - it had 32 miles on the clock when I bought it last summer and unless the dealer put new tires on it I have to assume they're original. Nice, quiet tire with a smooth ride and plenty of stick - amazingly quiet and smooth for a Max Performance Summer tire. I've had them on a couple of different road courses and they'll scream fairly loudly under extreme cornering but they do stick like glue. I've only got about 6,000 miles on them so only time will tell how loud they'll get with age.
