How can you be happy with a tire after just one day? I like Hutchinson too, I have a pair of Intensive (non tubeless) tires on my main bike and they seem to be quite good, but I've had other tires I liked just as well, like the Vittoria Rubino Pro Slick and the Specialized Roubaix. I think all 3 of those are superior in durability to anything Conti makes except for maybe the Gator Hardshell but that one is quite a bit heavier than any of the 3. I don't buy any tire I can't find for less than $30, I got my Hutchinson's for $23 and I got the Specialized for $20 each on a rare sale buy one get one free, and I paid $24 for the Vittoria's. I once got 3 pairs of Kenda Konstrictors for $14 each, they were excellent tires, wore like iron and only got one flat. Buying them on end of the year sales keeps tire cost down and you can try many brands, I just read the reviews if their favorable and the price is right I buy it.
By the way don't let anyone scare you out of buying tires that could be a year old on a deep closeout sale. Tires will last a very long time, proof in point, I bought a 1984 Fuji Club about 4 or 5 years ago that only had 5 miles on the bike then it was stored in the attic here in NE Indiana all those years, I rode on those tires for awhile, they didn't have any cracking, peeling, nothing, they looked like new and the rubber wasn't hard. I took them off and put a pair of the Kendas on so as to preserve the original tires. So buying a pair of year old tires on closeout that probably were setting in a warehouse for a year is a non issue.
