I have 35mm Randonneur Pro tires(folding) on my touring bike. Over the last 18months, they have seen probably 1200mi of road/paved trail/hardpack limestone.
No flats yet.


I lile them a lot. 120tpi, relatively light and good feel for the flat protection they provide, and cheap. Like $20 per tire cheap last year from CRC overseas.

Ive used regular Pasela tires(not the pt or tg or whatever) and wouldnt ever choose them over the randonneur pro.
The Pasela tires i had were just too soft on the sidewall. Its lile they started breaking down the minute i bought em. Really light and supple for the price, but not for me.

The only downside ive seen or felt on yhe Randonneur Pro tires is the reflective stripe started to come off. A dab of gorilla glue stopped that.

I have a set of Vittoria Voyager Hyper tires that im going to put on the bike soon. Also 35mm.
They are apparently a lighter faster tire but with less flat protection than the Randonneur Pro. Just 1 more to consider perhaps.
