Michelin Latitude Tour HP's with Different Tread?

[jst333]

Hi, I thought I would share this with everyone. A week ago bought some New Michelin Latitude Tour HP's from a New local tire shop that opened in my town. He only had 1 set, Got a great deal on them, Super Quiet, handle great, and steering response is fantastic. But, I've been thinking something looks different about these. After more investigation the Tread pattern is different and the load rating is higher. I can't find any pictures or info with this tread pattern. It's the sidewall they were manufactured in the US last november.

Any thought's? I'm thinking these are made for sams club or costco, but can't find them anywhere.

 

here is all the sidewall info:
