+1 I'm getting old enough that crashes hurt too much and I take too long to heal. Sliding out on corners means wounds on top of old wounds and 12-18 months of improvised foam padding to sleep well. I will happily ride grippier and more expensive, shorter lasting and much more flat prone tires just for that reason. That the bike has a sweet ride and feel? Well that's quite nice also! (Currently on Vittoria G+ tilres.)
I do ride the slipperier Paselas as rain/Portland winter/city tires. Use larger tires, less air and ride a little more carefully around corners. I havene't ridden Gatorskins but from all I hear, the Paselas I consider slippery are "grippy" vs Gatorskins.
