The bead is kevlar instead of steel wire, so they can be fold. Otherwise basically the same.

You can twist most standard bike tires into thirds. But, if not done properly, it will damage the tires.
Nonetheless, there are many advantages of the standard kevlar bead tires, and very few disadvantages.
