Review by willReviewed 10/9/2022by willCycling EnthusiastPortland, OR1 of 1 customers found this review helpful.The best non-tubeless tire I've ever riddenIn a market of inflated tire prices, the pricepoint of the Paselas is dreamy. I've got 700x38c Paselas on two different bikes - one for "road" and the other my commuter. These are beautiful tires that are surprisingly light in 38c, super capable on most gravel, grippy, and ridiculously supple (especially with latex tubes). I got lucky that the 38c tires just fit under some PDW fenders so I can ride these tires year round. As I noted in my headline, if these tires came in a tubeless, it'd be a gamechanger but I also hesitate knowing that some ride quality could disappear in the process of adapting it to tubeless. Oh well. In the meantime, go buy an armful of these tires!

Review by martywoodmanReviewed 12/13/2018by martywoodmanDaily CommuterNashville, Tn.3 of 4 customers found this review helpful.Awesome tiresThis is my go-to commuter tire. I'm currently running a 35 on the back and a 32 on the front. Easy to mount, stylish and puncture resistant. I feel a nice grab on the corners yet a suppleness and road-buzz cancelling quality that is very comfortable. I'll always use these on my winter commutertouring bike!

Review by Cycling with Taz @ youtubeReviewed 5/20/2017by Cycling with Taz @ youtubeDaily CommuterFort Lauderdale, FL2 of 13 customers found this review helpful.Get's Punctures Easily, But other then that fast and comfortable.Im a bike commuter that cycles to work and sometime to the store. Also a attend group rides thats average over 50miles. Best thing about these tires or the yellow side walls. For two reasons, looks and comfort. They are really thin and I guess it was designed that way to cushion the bumps on the road. Theyre really fast. Because it has great grip can put the power to the ground quickly. Proof is on Strava where I have 3 KOMs with this tires so fare. Also every time Im on a group ride people always compliment my rear tire. The Bad thing about it is you can only truly ride it on the road and cobble stones. Any time I ride on grass which may have something as small as a needle or a paper clip it will puncture very easily. It happened to me twice my first month riding with it, because I like taking shortcuts to work. So I had to change my routes to stay on the road. Best advice with this tire is to only use it for the rear. Thats where you need the power.

Review by AnonymousReviewed 9/15/2020by AnonymousDaily CommuterRochester, NYSecond Buy & Still HappyThe Paselas last a long time, have better than average traction, very good resistance to punctures. The gum sidewall never showed any wear in spite of often being ridden on trails. There are probably faster tires but these are the right tire for me.

Review by BykhykReviewed 1/11/2022by BykhykKeene, NH1 of 1 customers found this review helpful.Light and StrongTo me, a great "legacy" tan wall tire. Made years before disk brakes made tan walls stylish again. Great tire, wears well and very good puncture resistance. Best run as a road tire at the higher end of its rated pressure

Review by Tim Dot GreenReviewed 8/27/2021by Tim Dot GreenCycling EnthusiastWisconsin2 of 2 customers found this review helpful.Great Loaded Touring TireInstalled a set of these on my loaded touring bike. Loaded it up (35 pounds of gear) and went on a 4 day bike camping trip. These tires handled the load and the backroads of the driftless region (WI) with ease. They roll smoothly, look great and handle the challenge!

Review by Larry JReviewed 7/14/2017by Larry JCompetitive RacerAtlanta4 of 4 customers found this review helpful.Quality tire, true to sizeI rode these tires a bunch when I first built up my rainy day bike. After using another brand, I came back to this tire as they're a good balance of toughness, weight, and ride quality.

Review by kraftk66Reviewed 4/5/2021by kraftk66Cycling EnthusiastLos Angeles CA1 of 1 customers found this review helpful.Best Touring tireI've been using these tires and it's predecessor for 20 years. I have crossed the country and I didn't have a single flat in the whole distance. They are relatively light, fold and mount easily. My only complaint would be the tan sidewalls deteriorate and look shabby.

I'd go one size larger (700x35) but I can't fit with fenders. Nevertheless, the 32s are very comfortable and relatively light weight (I got the folding version). Panaracer makes quality tires.

Review by AnonymousReviewed 2/18/2021by AnonymousCycling EnthusiastAtlanta, GA1 of 1 customers found this review helpful.Excellent Allrounder TireI've been riding Pasela ProTite tires for years. They are lightest in their class, roll smoothly, offer low rolling resistance, transition to dirt well, and despite their suppleness, they're very tough and last a long time. Yes, I can find tires that do any one of these attributes better, but those "better" attributes result in either heavy, slow, stiff or less durable tires.

Review by BillyBobReviewed 11/27/2020by BillyBobCycling EnthusiastSan Diego1 of 1 customers found this review helpful.somewhat cushy good for road/rough road/occasional gravelBeen using these for few five years commuting and going on longer bike rides. We typically ride on asphalt, however we almost end up riding gravel for cut offs, or short cuts to get from one area to another. These hold up pretty well; only had one failure due to a sharp object penetrating the tread. No tire likely would have survived that.

Review by ChandlerReviewed 2/24/2020by ChandlerAstoriaGreat affordable tire.I got these to make my gravel bike a little faster on the roads, and was not disappointed. These tires offer awesome all season traction at an affordable price. I have roughly 400 miles in mine and they are still looking/riding like new. Not to mention the gumwall sidewalls looks really nice.

Review by JRReviewed 5/17/2019by JRCycling Enthusiast4 of 15 customers found this review helpful.UnmountableCould not mount these tires without the use of levers. By using the levers you end up puncturing the tube. I've had the tires for less than a month, rode the bicycle twice and have gone through three tubes already. I'm looking for new tires, time to throw these ones out. No support from Bike Tires Direct, would not even respond to my email.
