I've tried both the Challenge Parigi-Roubaix and the Grand Bois Cypres. Compared to the Jack Brown Greens (my "best" all-rounder), they both appear to roll better. The PR wins my "best" list by being a better tire for cornering - both are quite sticky, but the PR tracks predictably and the Cypres tends to wallow. I ride in Northern California where we have a lot of curvy technical descents so this characteristic is important to me.
Both have fairly thin treads and have about the same puncture resistance (very little) but are a joy to ride when the conditions are right. If you've ever tried Vittoria's Open Corsa CX 25s, the PRs feel like fatter OCs. I love the PRs so much that most of my fat tire- capable bikes are shodden with these.
