Bikes: Catrike 559 I own some others but they don't get ridden very much.

In general, high performance tires are very supple, light and thin. They perform better an all ways (ride quality, rolling resistance, road holding) except for tread wear and puncture resistance. Improving tread wear and puncture resistance generally makes tires heavier and stiffer so they handle less well.

Bicycle tire manufacturers produce a variety of models with a range of performance and puncture resistant characteristics. Finding the right model for the way that you ride is a kind of hunt and peck process. Since it sounds to me like you have found a model that you like, I don't know why you would want to change.

Good luck.
