Default Summer tires +$75?

Do the summer tires with alloy wheels cost an additional $75? This is what my local dealership included in the sticker price.

Yes they do and worth it, the wheel itself has nice metallic look vs the stainless on black. The link below should help answer show the differences as well, my 17' F-Sport came with the Bridgestone Duelers HL, i believe in the past they had Yoko's but i can be mistaken

I just got my 2018 NX F Sport with summer tires today. The "summer tires" are actually Bridgestone Dueler H/L 33's. They look like all-seasons to me, even though they're 235/55. Tirerack also says they're all seasons. Is this what everyone received as a "summer tire"?

My 15 F-Sport has those, as well. I think the issue is that Bridgestone did not put the All Season or M&S logos on the tire, however we just had a 6 inch snow and they did well on unplowed roads and later ice with my AWD. We have not had snow since the car was new, so I was pleasantly surprised given some of the extreme cautions about "summer tires."

That's kind of disappointing. I'm not expecting drag ready slicks but when you advertise a summer tire I'd expect a summer tire and not an all season. I'm not driving through nurburgring but true summers do provide better traction in dry and wet conditions and a big reason for my choice.

Did anyone get a true summer?
