Funny how that is.
It's not uncommon for an OE version of a tire to have worse traction. They're made to be cheaper and to last longer.
A few years back I bought a bridgestone tire that was OE on some GM cars. The tires had horrible reviews in OE applications, but had decent reviews for ones that were purchased aftermarket.
