Picked up a set of the blues....JB blues that is to replace the thinning Paselas on my Sam a few days ago. Haven't had time to do much of a test ride yet, but a short one had me thinking they have a much livelier feel than the Paselas. They definately corner better. The best wide belted tire I've had yet.
