Needed low rolling resistance new tyres for my other summer cruiser bike,
originally dismissed the Voyager Hypers as they were quite expensive and the ones from schwalbe offered more bang for the $.

However now came upon these reduced? Vittoria Voyager wired oners

The Folding Hypers get insanely good rolling resistance:

However Are the Folding ones and the wired ones are the same and would give the same performance/rolling resistance or they are actually 2 very different tyres?

Here are the 2:

The thread looks a little bit different on them?
What's the deal with them? Anyone knows?

Tread pattern looks the same on the other pictures. think they have just used the wrong image on the website. Says they both use a 120tpi carcass so would have thought they were very similar.

I've had the wired version in brown on my rigid 29er commuter for the past 4500km.
I can't comment on rolling resistance other than they're better than the nobblies the bike came with and don't go as fast as my best road bike.
No real complaints, I run a (probably too) high pressure and the ride is a bit crashy, but I have heavy panniers - so it's a trade off.
Looks like there is plenty of life still in them.
