There is talk on forums of such tyres being slightly different to their non marked, otherwise identical rubber. However, not a signle tyre manufacturer anywhere states that to be the case.

Agree that VOL means nothing more than its an OE fitment and not acoustic. However this review suggests that in some cases there may be differences between off the shelf tyres and star marked OEM tyres

I'll take the fact that not a single manufacturer makes a claim of any difference, over the unscientific advice of non-engineering personnel who probably never even check their tyre pressures between services.

Evidence, evidemce, evidence. There is none, not a whit.
