Review by AnonymousPlush by AnonymousCycling EnthusiastMaine2 of 2 customers found this review helpful.Purchased the Panaracer Pasela 32's for roadmixed terrain use on my Felt F4x.
They are plush, cushy, and a joy to ride.
They also look nice with the carbon frame and red accents on the Felt.

Review by Anonymousbest upgrade i've made so farby AnonymousDaily CommuterNew York City5 of 6 customers found this review helpful.i live in nyc and ride everywhere i go year round, the roads are full of broken glass, widow-maker pot holes, left over winter sand, and all sorts of weirdgross things waiting to give you a puncture or worse. these tires have made my rides and commutes so much more comfortable. I'm running the 35mm's and they're great. Grippy, supple, tough, fast rolling. All the things i thought i'd have to pay $50ea for. And my bike looks pretty pretty good with the tan side walls.

Review by Marty F.Great tire when you have enough clearance. It rolls happily on pavement, and accepts gravel graciouslyby Marty F.Cycling EnthusiastRoseburg, OR3 of 3 customers found this review helpful.I purchased my first adventure bike and chose this tire. I have a couple of hundred miles on it now, and I'm happy with its performance. Most of my miles have been on payment, city and country, and I've always been pleased with the road feel. I've done a few miles on gravel, and no complaints! (BTW, no flats so far.)

Review by fatguyonabikeSupple Budget Touring Tireby fatguyonabikeDaily CommuterSeattle area19 of 20 customers found this review helpful.Panaracer is the OEM for a high end touring tire brand here in the Seattle area, so I thought, why not get a deal and go directly to the manufacturer? That said, I've ridden the high end brand, and this is not the same tire-but for the price difference, I didn't expect it to be.
I picked up the 38c size to run on my daily riderlight touring bike. They do a great job of absorbing the potholes, cracks, and other atrocities found on Seattle's third world-like roads.
I believe supple is the word all the skinny-jeaned kids are talking about these days. So, supple it is....errr...they are.
The Panaracers also hang corners like nobody's business.
Well....I'm sure it's somebody's business...but nobody that I know.
And they look cool with their classic gumwall styling.
Looking cool automatically makes you 20-30% faster. Scientific fact!
My only beef with the tire is that I somehow got a hole in the sidewall on the Seattle-Portland ride this year. Whether that happened on the road or in transit, I'll never know. But, the tube stayed intact, so it could have been worse.
So maybe it's not really a beef. Maybe it's more of a tofu.
All in all, a nice tire at a nice price.

Review by AnonymousSo far so goodby AnonymousI've used panaracer in the past - they seem to work well for me. Lightweight but can also manage some crushed gravel.

Review by v1proBest All Roundr Tiresby v1proCycling EnthusiastNJ, Pa, NY, CT, MaReview for Panaracer Pasela PT Road Tire8 of 8 customers found this review helpful.I started using the TG version back in 2010 when I first started riding brevets. On my Rando bike I have over 12,500 miles, all on these tires. My first set, front tire lasted 6,500 miles and rear was 2700 for the first, 3800 on the second. Tire size are 700 x 28. My second set are the same size as the first I have a bit over 6000 Miles on the front, the rear 5,600 on the first, almost 1000 on the second which is the PT. Feels the same as TG. These tires are pretty supple, fast and durable, only 4 flats total on all tires ridden. I also have size 32 on another bike with almost 2000 miles with no flats and very nice to ride on. Great tires overall!

Review by Anonymousgreat rideby AnonymousCycling EnthusiastPortland, ORReview for Panaracer Pasela PT Road Tire7 of 7 customers found this review helpful.I'm a randonneur and year-round commuter logging about 5000 miles per year-lots of wet weather and lots of night riding where I don't necessarily see road hazards before I hit them. I get plenty of flats with all kinds of tires, and I'm not afraid of flats. If you are, then you should get over it, or give up on road feel. Tires are basically a wear item. The Paselas provide an excellent road feel and light weight. They do have some puncture protection. As another person noted, when they are new flats are more rare. For me this is just gravy. But for this price and this road feel I'm not sure you can do better. I've used the 28s and 32s. I do like how compact the tire is when folded-I carry a spare most of the time. I'm moving one of my bikes toward wider tires and gravel. I plan to start it's new life with the Pasela 38s (available at an LBS).

Review by VinnieSGreat tandem tireby VinnieSCompetitive RacerOregonReview for Panaracer Pasela PT Road Tire2 of 3 customers found this review helpful.These have been my go-to tires for our tandem for decades. 700x28 for general riding and 700x32 when we load up the panniers. The 32's must have thicker rubber. Get many more miles on them.

Review by StSoxGreat While They Lastedby StSoxCycling EnthusiastPortland, ORReview for Panaracer Pasela PT Road Tire8 of 11 customers found this review helpful.I posted a review in July 2014 once I hit 800 miles on these tires with no problems and joked that I had probably jinxed myself. Well.....in the two months since, I have had FIVE flats all from small pieces of glass embedding in the rubber and grinding their way through to the tube.
My riding conditions and miles haven't changed. I gauge my tires at least twice a week. The tires look noticeably worn after 1100 miles.
I believe this is like a race tire. Super soft compound, great grip and ride but like race tires, they aren't designed for the long haul. Prior to this I had a set of Vredestein Moiree's that logged 2500 miles with one flat.
These are not worth $70.00 every 800 miles. They are not good citycommuting tires and are going in the recycling bin. Wish I could find the Moiree in a 700 again.

Review by TarwheelGreat touring, commuting tireby TarwheelCycling EnthusiastRaleigh, NCReview for Panaracer Pasela PT Road Tire6 of 6 customers found this review helpful.I installed some of these on my touring bike before embarking on a 400-mile loaded tour on the GAP - C&O Canal trails, which consist of dirt, mud and gravel paths. The Paselas rode great, provided plenty of traction and never flatted. Their light weight made it easy to carry a spare. I'll be keeping these tires on my bike for commuting.
