I do like the Pasela TG tires for many applications. I had to give up on them, though, when I moved to New Mexico and they were just constantly bombarded by goathead thorns. I ended up not riding the one bike on which I kept them, and I got my first flat in California when I rode that bike and the embedded goathead was pressed into the tire...

I always found that those 'S' check marks on the absolute center of the tire would pick up sharp-looking debris. Not surprisingly, none of my tires now have that feature. I should commend Panaracer on one thing, though: Honesty in sizing. Anyone who thinks their tires run large for a given size needs to learn how to use a basic measuring implement. I'm also running one of their aggressive city tires, 'Crosstown,' which has not given me a problem at all over the last 3 years or so.
