Gommitalia Calypso K vs. Panaracer Pasela vs. Conti GP4000
 
I'm looking to buy some tan skinwall/gumwall tires. I'll be using these for city riding and the occasional long distance effort. I've heard good things about each, but I'm still pretty uneducated regarding each tire's strengths and weaknesses.

I'm looking for durability above all, but don't want something that won't be comfortable/has a lot of rolling resistance. So far, I've got my eye on the Gommilatia's.

Wrong choices for "city" riding
 
Which Gommitalia? I assume you are talking about 23c tires? Why would you want such a sknny tire for "city" riding and durability?

All three tires are good -- the conti IMO probably has the lowest rolling resistance, the pasela is the comfy-est, and the Gommitalia is the liveliest. In your case, I'd go conti... but why so narrow for city?
