Bikes: I have 3 singlespeed/fixed gear bikes

I've had a set of Panaracer pasela tourguards on my fixed gear since June, they are 700 x 32 size.That's almost 4 months now and I've put about 3500 KM on these tires. My weekely mileage is 275-300 km per week, and it's mostly commuting, recreational rides and running errands.To be honest with everybody I have never had a flat yet. Which is amazing, I never expected that. Most of my riding is on the road but I also ride a lot on gravel and dirt trails/paths.I've ridden over broken glass and all types of crap. The tread on the rear tire is worn but I think I can still get few hundered KM's before replacing the tires. The front has almost no wear. I did notice a few weeks ago that the sidewalls have tiny hairline cracks , but I haven't had any blowouts so I am not too worried about it. Very impressed with the performance of these tires and for the price you just can't go wrong. When I do finally replace them it will be with a set of Continental touring plus also in 700 x 32 and I hope that they will perform just as well as my paselas. Well since this is a commuting forum I won't bother writing about all the offroad tires that I've tested. Oh and for winter commuting I have Nokians, and I am very impressed with them as well.
