I recently purchased a set of Panaracer Urbanmax 700x32mm tires and after mounting them, found them to be only 30.5mm wide compaired to my other, supposedly identical, pair that inflate to 32.8mm. I bought one extra tire as a spare, for my high mileage rear tire on my old bike and am dissappointed that it is so noticably narrow, in comparison to the old one. My rims are identical in width Mavic T520 and Mavic A719. I wonder if any of you have noticed a difference when buying tires a year apart, hoping to have a match only to find them totally different?
I like the urbanmax (old width) but am troubled that they changed. I wonder if Panaracer is using a different mold....or what.
