i run 700x28 gatorskins and they are a harsh ride but they have nearly 8000 miles on them and they're still going. i should probably change them out at some point.
i'm guessing i would try the pasela. so many good suggestions here though.
(and listening in for more recommendations...)
I'm trying to figure out why some people claim gatorskins are harsh. They have a tough tread and supple sidewalls.
I think the problem is because Conti recommends putting way way too much air in them. try about 55 front and 70 rear, and they should ride much better. The Conti 4 seasons do ride a little better though (the tread is not as thick, but they wear nicely).
