He said there are Schwalbe 20 inch 1.75 width for $55 each or Panaracer Pasela same size/width tho they have a sort of tan sidewall vs. being all black. He said they're a good tire and a good price ($30 each).

What do you think? Anybody know if Panaracers are comparable tire to the Schwalbe? I googled what they look like and the tan or beige sidewall seems Ok though I wouldn't want to compromise quality. Then again I just use my bike to ride around my hood more than anything else and it's been quite good for that.

I had originally added a new post with a Thud buster and a pretty cushy Cloud 9 seat for my low back probs and had been Ok until I hurt my left achilles tendon and had to be on crutches, then my already established posterior tibial tendonitis in both feet kicked in and then my back went out so the back flare up has been taking what seems like forever to get over. Anyway that's my rational for trying wider tires.
