    A folding tyre is lighter and its easier to carry a spare tyre because you can eh... fold it.

    In all other respects they should be identical.

    The folding ones have kevlar wire I think which is what allows them to fold - which also makes the tire lighter.

    Also, an advantage that I've found is that folding tyres can be easier to fit than wired. I've had some wired tyres that were a very tight fit and therefore difficult to fit but their folding version was relatively easy to fit. I'm not sure whether it applies generally though or whether I was just lucky in those cases.
