OEM spec varies, but I could see them choosing a relatively hard compound just for that longevity image out of the box. Without knowing the compound can't say for sure, but based on the lack of wear, sounds like those were a hard compound and it makes sense they weren't grippy, since Schwalbe's softer rubbers are quite soft and def don't last "long" .
