We run Gran Bois 28 or 29 tires on our tandem. They have absolutely amazing road feel, and help provide a very comfortable ride. We have run a lot of different tires over the years on our tandems, and never found anything that rides like Gran Bois. The only caveat is that they don't do so well with fully loaded touring, or with scuffs from stones etc., as the sidewalls are pretty soft. I'm not sure how well they would do on a triple.

Our single bikes have had 26 mm Gran Bois tires since new, and they have a great ride. These bikes were built with fit and comfort at the top of the list, and I am pretty sure the tires are a bike part of their feel.
