Odd, they give you a different tire just to change the lettering colour? I thought all OWL tires had a black side unless they're directional?

I would love it if my new truck came with Michelins! My 2005 F-150 came with Michelins that lasted 93,000 miles. I liked them so much I purchased the exact same tires for replacements, their still on the truck at 167,000 miles.
The damn Dodge I bought in '97 came with crapyear wranglers that didn't even last 40,000 miles.
The E-250's we got at work last year came with Hankook's and have had a number of flats. They don't seem very puncture resistant. Not impressed.

I am sure this has been asked a bunch before, But when you changed tires at the dealer, did they give you much on the stock "trade in" tires? Or am I better off going to a tire dealer and keeping the old ones to sell on craigs list?
I would say anything over 400 is good. But keep in mind if you trade tires in, you don't pay tax on your trade do save some there.
