Better is a relative term. Really depends on one's riding style, the roads they ride on and how well the roads are maintained. Most top line manufacturers make tire models that fit just about any type of bike and rider out there. If you're just starting out, you can't possibly know what makes a really great tire for you. At this stage I would assume that you mostly want reliable. Nothing is more discouraging to a new commuter than constantly fixing flats. If I were in your shoes, I'd try these. Worst outcome is, you don't like them and you're out $22.00. Best outcome, they work awesome for you, and you only spent $22.00.
The likely outcome is, they'll be very acceptable tires but when it's time to replace them you'll think, yeah they're fine, but I wish they were more/less ___________. (fill in the blank). At that point you start asking questions and doing research. Over time you'll fine "your" tire.
