I haven't compared them to the non-PT Paselas, but they seem plenty cushy to me. I do most of my riding on pavement, but they have performed really well when I've gone on forest trails, gravel routes, etc.
This has been my experience with Panaracer Paselas PT version as well. I ride in urban areas too and I never get flats on them. I used to ride the non-PT version and had more flats than any other tire I’ve experienced. The ride to me feels very similar and very nice. If the non-PT version is somehow faster I haven’t noticed. I ride 27 x 1 1/4” PTs on my Raleigh Super Course, my Schwinn Voyaguer 11.8 and I’ve got the 700c x 32mm folding version on My International. Very very durable and a nice ride.
