I can't tell the difference. Even weighing the two (622X60) on a mail scale gave me about 90 gr difference which, at 800 gr (Liteskin) or 900 gr (regular wire) weights is (lovely word) nugatory. And the ride -- plushness, ease of rolling -- seems the same. Puncture resistance is excellent for both -- both have the same belt, I think.
Lovely tires, IMO. I've owned both wire and Liteskin 622X60s and wire 559X60s.
