I get it. Cost is the reason I don't yet have what I aspire to put on a bike fitted for riding outside of daylight hours.
I've probably become a bit of a bike snob, but a thicker section on the sidewall doesn't sound like the tires are a joy to ride on. Perspective would probably change to acceptance if necessity were involved.
