I've used regular marathons, BA's and the Pasela on various commuters. The BA's gave a very comfortable ride, put about 45 psi in them - seemed to wear well, however never riden them on snow. You and others have had better luck with Paselas, than I have. Among those getting year around use, 50 mm regular Schwalbe marathons are the equivalent of "all season radials", have run them around 50 psi - work well on various road surfaces and conditions, plus last a long time.
