What brand of tire came with the 01 Bx-S?
 

I'm looking at one with claimed low miles and figure I can get a clue on how hard it was run by seeing if it has the same rubber it came with...

I think the OE tires are typically (but probably not always) Continental, Pirelli or Michelin. If you see something like Kumho or Yokohama, they are not "original".
Porsche-approved tires also carry an "N" rating as I recall. This is a big deal to some folks, and not to others.

I had Cont Sport IIs on my 18s.

17" Conti's on my snows & 18" Carrera alloys Michelin Pilots for my summer tires.

In several European Porsche magazines, I read that Porsche is now putting Michelin Pilot Sport 2 on their cars (997/987) and the latest 996 GT2. Either it's a new trend - or just for journalist's cars, but this is what they observed....
