Were they more reliable on my local pavement they would get a thumbs up (with the very heavy price caveat). For me the continentals and veloflex tires are more reliable. The veloflex reliability is slightly better than the compass tires and the price is about half for a better rolling tire. Easy decision for racy skinwalls IMO.
Interesting. It appears that's only for the 26" and that only the tread pattern is the same. The casing is totally different as is the tread material. I dunno.
I can tell you that the tread on the 700c / 650b tires is different and the casing is different as well, so they are clearly not Pasela based.
