Anyway, still these are the nicest tyres by far in that price range - show me any other clincher tyre with a herringbone or diamond pattern for under 20€.
It sure does matter, especially for collector/show bikes where it's more about the looks than durability.
I for example have around ten bikes, but only three of them are really used on a daily basis. The rest is just used once or twice per month, why invest in high end tyres on these?
