That's a good price. But, I disagree that wire bead Paselas provide
80% of the performance of standard casing Compass tires of the same size.
On the suppleness scale (rock hard tires are 0, handmade tubulars are
10), I'd give standard casing Compass tires a 9 (9.5 for EL casing),
and wire bead Paselas with Tourguard a 5.5 or 6.
I was not speaking of the Tourguard version, but rather the unbelted
wire bead "regular" Pasela.
My opinion, obviously. No rolling drum tests were performed in the
creation of this opinion, just seat of my pants.

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.
