We are fair weather riders. I weigh 235 and my stoker weighs 115. If I know we will be on good roads only, I use the Panaracer Pasela 700 x 28. But I feel much more confident and comfortable on Panaracer Pasela Tour Guard 700 x 32 as most of the suburban roads we ride are not that smooth and many of our bike paths are crushed limestone.
