Now I was willing to accept this if you wanted something special. Mud tyres or spikes or combination road / gravel tyres or even doing 45° angle corner leans at 80kph down Alpe d'Huez or whatever but surely, SURELY, for just going A to B in an paved enviroment it wouldn't matter?

On top of that, it lasts three times as long (speaking for the Continental premium tires vs. their cheap basic stuff) making it kind of a no-brainer which to get for someone cycling regularly.

Upgrading your tires is still the cheapest and most effective performance tuning you can do.
