I’ve had 700x28 Paselas on one bike and recently put 700x35s on it in a different configuration using the folding model. I agree with
noglider that they’re a solid tire and a good value, but they don’t perform as well as Compass/Rene Herse.
I went fancy-ass on hers, too, with Compass 559 x 1.8” (forgot what mountain pass they were made on!). All was well until she got a glass puncture on her first ride at her favorite park. So I switched them back to her previous Protite 559 x 32 (never flatted), and harmony is restored.
