He didn't say how they were different, just that they were better.

Kai --
I recall that comment and others on this forum as well. I guess what I am trying to pin down is the meaning of the phrase "way more kickass."
Is this a difference in tire construction, tread pattern, tread compound (as suggested by R&T and Edmunds) or a combination thereof?
