There is about a $20 price difference between the two. Any plain english explanations why the more expensive ones are better?

If my bike comes standard with x32 tires will i be ok fitting x35 tires to them?

Thanks!

I ordered the cheaper ones and it turns out they are exactly the same as the more expensive ones. Reading in the small print under the description it lists them with the same name. I received them the other day and can confirm they are the same Schwalbe part number as the more expensive ones.

I installed them a little while ago. First noticeable difference is that they are more comfortable. I haven't had a chance to ride them enough for much more of an impression. My fenders had to be adjusted a little to keep them from rubbing.
