That's odd; I found the 32 mm P TGs that came on my Herse rather doggy compared to the non-TGs. But I found Schwalbe Kojaks (559X1.35) to be far more puncture resistant than the regular P's (559X1.25) and even better rolling. Am trying to find a pair of the 622X35 mm Kojaks for the Fargo, now. Of course, $55 versus $20 ...
