I used to run Paselas and Pasela PT's on my commuter but they wore down prematurely on the rough roads and I ended up getting flat after flat. They do look the part and I did prefer the ride feel but I ended up switching to Gatorskins on my commuter and haven't looked back. They are available in 27 1/4 if I am not mistaken but I switched to 700c when I made the tire switch.
