Yes.
I have tires from all of those, and they are obviously different. If only looking at tread pattern, one can see that’s true, but there are other construction differences as well, for example, the Herse extralight casing is observably different from the Panaracer Gravelking slick.
As for whether differences make Herse and Ultradynamico worth considering, well, that depends on what kind of cyclist you are. Some cats roll around on department store rubber their whole lives, blissfully ignorant of the possibilities.
