The Pasela TG (original RBW issue on my Ram) is a favorite tire for the zippy
but comfortable ride. It does not have high mileage tread, but at the price
point, I don't mind replacing it when needed. The smaller size makes it a
little faster, but that detracts from comfort, so the casing suppleness is what
you are feeling. The TG is of course more susceptilble to injury than the
Marathons. I have only had one flat ever using them, in thousands of miles.
The Regular Pasela also comes in fatter sizes. I am running 37s on a 26"
conversion bike and love them as well. They are significantly faster than Col
de la Vies of the same tire width. (In the coasting test, after a downhill I
can get past the stop sign with the Paselas, but fall two houses short of the
stop sign with the CdlVs. I can't get more scientific than THAT!)

If anything a wider tire with supple rubber will be more comfortable
with minimal impact on speed and acceleration.
