interesting review of several tires in the 27 to 31mm width size
28mm Tire Shootout - Slowtwitch.com
I have the Parigi-Roubaix and find his review to be right-on. The other tires would fit my classic road bike with short-reach brakes perfectly. All of the tires could be ideal for my local 75% asphalt, 25% firm gravel routes that I enjoy.
The comments about tire and rim fit ring true: "Many new rims completely ignore existing ETRTO and DIN standards for shape, width, and diameter. Even though a true tubeless standard exists for mountain bikes (UST), most manufacturers now make their own slightly different version to save weight and have a unique sales story. I have heard similar sentiments from wheel manufacturers in regards to the tires on the market – they're all over the map."

Hmm. I've been thinking about road tires for my cyclocross bike - CX base season and a couple gravel rides I plan to do are fast approaching. Sounds like the Challenge Paris-Roubaix is going to be the one I want. I was worried about width, but I see now that it runs quite wide.
