you havent mentioned how much you weigh and what pressures you are running. In my experience this makes a big diff in handling feeling, so put out the numbers and I can relate to cornering with 28 gatorskins on my cx type bike, and on my touring bike that I have supremes, but 26x2, 50mm which actually measure out to 45 on my rims.
I feel a very noticeable diff on any bike with appropriate, ie lower, pressures for better handling (loaded or unloaded)
Good point. I weigh 70kg (156lb) and have the 35mm Schwalbes at 65-70psi front, 70-75psi rear.
