My commuter has 650b 42mm Pasela Tourguards. It rides like an oxcart vs my other bikes with same size tire Hetres. But the Paselas aren't terrible - when I commute I place puncture resistance very high on my list. As an A-B test, I swapped the wheels on both bikes, the oxcart ride followed the tires.
