That's kind of my point. It seems like people expect other 'brands' like Fairweather to be cheaper than Compass, because they aren't the real thing. But they are all made by Panaracer anyway. It looks to me like the Fairweathers are the exact same tire as a Chinook Pass with a different label.

FWIW I ran Fairweather Travelers pretty much all of last year. Nice tires, and they are clearly a step up from Panaracer Paselas. Very smooth ride. Surprisingly good off road. I got some Gravel Kings recently. I'm kinda thinking they're the same tire. We shall see. They don't come in gum wall like the Compass and Fairweather tires though.
