Have to say, I am still a big fan of the Paselas( been using them for
about 10 years) , especially for commuting. They are rugged but
fine-riding tires.
And at $25 each (for the tan sidewall wire bead unbelted 700x32C at
Niagra Cycle) they're less than half the price of a standard casing
Compass Stampede Pass ($57 ea) for probably 80-85% of the performance.
A splendid choice for commuting.
I did buy 2 sets of Compass McLure Passes to replace my Pasela 26 X
1.5 tires for my allrounder and X0-1; the X0-1 is one of my commuters.
I got 3 flats in a couple of months with the Compass tires which was a
bit of a PITA but they are more performance oriented.Normally (may the
gods not strike me down for this) I rarely get flats. I love the
extralight 700 X 32 Stampede Passes on my road bike but at 78 USD a
pop they're definitely not a practical commuter tire. On my mixte I
have 650B X 42 Paselas...thought about Compass tires but I think I'll
stick with the Paselas w. Tourguard for now. The folding bead tires
are not egregiously heavy. My experience , YMMV.

Thanks for the info. I still use paselas but will give the
gravel kings a try next time new rubber is needed. I love Pari
Motos but the tread life is only about 1,900 miles for me.
