I once ran over an empty vodka bottle and tore open the sidewall, and tube, of a brand new Pasela, non TG, 28. It is the only catastrophic sidewall failure (30 years) that I can't at least partially attribute to age. In all seriousness, the Pasela sidewalls seem to be about as tough as other nice riding and rolling road tires. This means that they are woefully inadequate as a 'trail' tire in this neck of the woods. I have ridden pretty much everything, and more than a few times, in the area of Riv HQ. The conditions there are very much different than here. They (paselas) were always good enough for light trail duty in the area of Riv HQ. I expect any urban environment would chew them up pretty quick. Kenda Comforts are worth a look, IMO.
