Bikes: Surly Troll

I've been rolling with Panaracer Pacela Tourguard on my 3 road bikes for 5+ years. My two commuter bikes have 700-35 (about 75-80 psi) and my classic Ciocc has 700-28 (about 95 psi). These have kevlar beads and a kevlar belt under the tire tread. Flat resistance is better than most tires, but not as good as Schwalbe. Last year I averaged one flat per 1500 or so miles. They work well on wet and dry roads, and can last for about about 4000 miles. Cost is pretty good, usually around $30 from several on line retailers. The Pacela is a traditional looking tire with black tread and tan sidewall (which I like) instead of being all black, or even worse, all red.
