I'm very happy with my Pasela PTs. I have them on 3 vintage bikes. My other go to tire is Continental Gatorskin. The Paselas seem just as durable, 2 flats in almost 3000 miles. I do mostly paved normal roads and bike paths, with probably 100 miles of dirt and gravel fire roads, including Eroica. With durability of the Gatorskins, but a nicer ride and the classic skinwall look, I'm happy with them. I do have 28s on these bikes, which run a little small when mounted. I measure them at between 26.5 and 26.7mm, mounted and inflated, two sets on Mavic MA40s, and one set on Sun CR18 rims.

...and with Gatorskin 25s for comparison.
