Good point. Similarly, there's no comparison between my 25mm Schwalbe Marathon beasts and my swift 25mm Gatorskins. They're nominally the same size, but they're different tires for different uses. (When I supported my wife on her Katy ride. She started out with her favorite Gatorskins, but soon gladly switched to the Marathons.)
