I ride the Pasela TGs right now because I got a set in 32 brand new with my used Ram. Despite being "slower" I loved my Roughy Toughys in 28 and will probably order JB Blues when these Paselas wear out. I just like the idea of a longer lasting tire and the "dead" feel some talk about feels "smooth" to me. I love the smooth tread on the Riv tires too. I don't want anyone to think I dont like them, I just assumed they were slow due to that old Jan test.
I might prefer the tougher tires because I'm 6-6 190. Also, fixing flats in the rain is not fun to me. That probably has something to do with it too. - Ryan On Monday, January 28, 2013 1:43:58 PM UTC-8, john wrote: > > Mike, thanks for the response.
