Thank you for the encouragement. As to the difference between OEM and retail tires I can see using a wire bead instead of folding to reduce the cost. That's not the case here. All the tires we tested have folding beads. I'll add that to the specs. If a different casing is used you'd expect the weight to be different, too. We list the weights and at least for the WTBs they match the weight in the manufacturer's specs. The Ultradynamico was 30 grams heavier than spec but I doubt they are making an OEM version of those tires. In any case ours were purchased at a bike shop for retail.
