I believe some have...

what's important is to look at the tread width... compare tires

the top one is the Michelin PSS, bottom is Hankook V12

notice that while the section width is wider on the Hankook, the tread width is actually WIDER on the smaller OEM size PSS - meaning more tire on the road...
