I can understand that. I bought two 20"x1.6 Supremes for $140 with shipping. They both had hops from overlapping layers but one wasn't unacceptable and the other was. The problem wasn't evident in the 700x35version. So now I got some 700x35 tires from Vittoria and Panaracer that fit a similar design as the Supremes and they all look like they have similar techonologies in their construction. I don't doubt that they're good but whatever Schwalbes business model is it involves offering the most expensive tires in any size and a price to justify unique tires in uncommon sizes.
