Panaracer Paselas have always seemed to be a decent value, a good blend of rideability, dependability, and cost.
Almost all of my bikes have Compass Rene Herse tires, but I do have a commuter that has Paselas. The difference in ride is very noticable. I've also had 1 flat on my regular commuter (Paselas) in 2 years, Maybe a half dozen or more on the Rene Herse tires.
