I guess if you want to jump through all those hoops to get tyres that
say "Grand Bois" on them, by all means (literally).
But Compass' Babyshoe and SOMA's Grand Randonneur EX tyres are both
made by Panaracer (in Japan), with nearly the same specifications as
the Hetres. In fact, the Hetre EL, the original Compass Babyshoe, and
the SOMA GR EX all weigh the same (within grams of each other), I'd be
surprised if these aren't all the exact same tyre.
Then be surprised. The fact that Panaracer makes them doesn't mean
they're made the same. And honestly, detecting the difference between
the Hetre and any other tire doesn't require a lot of detective work:
all you need do is look at them. Here they are side by side. It's
obvious that's not the same tread.
