My old tires are about to burst. I do short commutes on my ride but nothing that necessitates wide, cushy tires.

With the choice between Panaracer Paselas (700x25c) and the Wolber Coton (700x19/20). Which would be nicer if they cost the same?

+1 The Wolber is a training tire -
I would go for the Pasela -Tourguard version.

I have no experience with the Wolbers, but I really love my Panaracers. Just ordered another set. I also recommend the tourguards for commuting.

Would the Wolbers be good enough for flips?

Only if you can land softly.

Where do you even get Wolber tires? I didn't even know the name is still around.

Regardless, Panaracer has always been my favorite tire brand. I love my Paselas.

I recently fixed up an old Schwinn with original tires intact. They were Schwinn-branded Panaracers, and even those old tires felt very nice.
