I haven't heard, but I have ridden Grand Bois Cypres, Panaracer Pasela (in a variety of widths and TG and non-TG) and Ruffy Tuffys. I've put in lots of miles on all types, and the Grand Bois tires (30mm) are by far the cushiest and the fastest. Some believe they're more prone to flats, but I can report that I have two pair on two different bikes that get lots of miles, and I've had a total of two flats (one on each bike). I've had just as many flats on Pasela TG tires (which I do like a lot; can't beat the value) with fewer miles.
