That's interesting, I actually find the Marathon Supreme 35mm's to be

I've complained about problems with Paselas and JB sidewalls a bunch
here. I don't see myself going back to either tire in the future.
Right now all my bikes have Marathons of various sizes. The QB has

put some Duremes on it. Even

One more datapoint: I've ridden over 45,000 miles over the last
seven years on Panaracer tires. Most of those were on Pasela (Non-
Tourguard's) 700x32's, a few thousand on Pasela Tourguard 700x32's, a
few thousand were on Grand Bois Cypres 700x30's, a few thousand were
on TServ's or Urban Max's
Steve - Then I can only add that YMMV. For me they are no better at
defeating the urban track than , say, Conti GP3/4000s - in 28s. And
less than Conti Gator Skins - also in 28s. Beyond that, who
knows..maybe random acts of whoknowswhat, and other stuff too. I
didn't say I didn't like them, but
I've used paselas on lousy Pennsylvania roads and never had a sidewall

What neck of the woods is that?

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

Tim,
You may be onto something with the last bit. Have always wondered if
the sidewall issue is more common with the folding bead version.
Pretty sure I had a pair of non folding bead Paselas that didn't have
an issue.

Perhaps the 700's are more problematic?

In my experience w/ Paselas over the last 15 years or so, they have been the
best tires I can find (light, roll great, cheap), but are prone to sidewall
problems. They are much lighter and livelier than Marathons (total dogs,
YMMV) and when I can get them on sale for $15 each, I don't mind the

I have had the same sidewall experience as you with the Pasela, but
have been very happy with other Panaracer tires, like the Fire XC Pro,
still going strong on my mountain bike after three years. I'm
considering 37mm Schwalbe Marathon Supremes for the Quickbeam, but at
$70 each, it won't be soon.
Are you talking about the 4th model down on Peter White's listing of
Schwalbe tires here?: http://www.peterwhitecycles.com/schwalbe.asp
$37/ea seems like a good deal for these. I will never buy a Panaracer
product again for sure...
