Eric,
I live in Lodi in Central California. Its a wine grape growing region
and we have a lot of 2 lane country roads. Also 15 miles east we have
a lot of hills. In both areas there are a lot of poorly maintained
road surfaces. I have been riding the Grand Bois Cerfs 700x28 for
years. They're expensive but last twice as long as the old 23 and 25
highend tires I have used in the past. I run 60lbs and 70lbs front and
rear on A23 rims. I am trying the new Compass 700x32 normal weight
currently and really like them. I have been running 50lbs,60lbs front
rear. I have never had a pinch flat on any of these tires. I weight
about 175.
The Compass 28mm tires should last a lot longer than the Cerf 28s. The
Cerf is a great riding tire, but it has an "event" tread: very, very
thin. Mine only lasted around 1300 miles (compared to 6,000 miles for
the 30 mm Cypres). Best part is, there's no penalty for this additional
wear: the whatever-Pass 28mm tires ride every bit as nice as the Cerfs.
