Here is a link that has some explanations of what you get with a premium tire -

I'll add also that another benefit often is better quality control. You are more likely to get a no-name tire that can't be balanced or requires a lot more weights to balance than a brand name tire.
Also, IMO, there is probably less difference when comparing a standard type of tire (75-80 series) than when comparing name brand and no-name high performance tires.
