Volkswagen Golf: Best tyres

I have a query regarding the standard tyres for the VW Golf Comfortline 90 TSI. I bought one last week which was fitted with Hankook 205x55 R16 tyres, but later I found out that some Golfs identical to mine are fitted with Michelin or Dunlop tyres. Can you clarify: is this a random thing or was I short-changed?

All makers use multiple suppliers, especially for tyres, unless it's something like a Porsche GT3 which has a very specific Michelin tyre. So you haven't been short-changed as Hankook makes some very good tyres.
