I love the ride and performance of my 28 & 32mm Compass tires, and recently reached 3000 miles on my first pair! (with only one flat) I have no reason to try any others, and at that mileage, not even cost is a consideration. YMMV... I'm a lightweight and always default to the clean part of the travel lane.

I have not tried their "extra lights" as the standard casing is plenty fast (and light) enough for me.
