what does oe tire mean
OE stands for âOriginal Equipmentâ, meaning that the tires were approved by your vehicle manufacturer to come standard on your vehicle. Some vehicle manufacturers, such as Audi, BMW, Mercedes, and others, equip their vehicles with tires that are specifically made for their brand. These tires have a special OE marking on the sidewall. In this case, Michelin recommends to replace tires on your vehicle only with tires equipped with necessary OE marking.
