I have been running 700-32C Panaracer Pasela PT on my Salsa Vaya for the last 3 or 4 years. I went down from 42mm Maxxxis Overdrives and the bike felt lighter and faster. I also have a couple of vintage touring bikes with 27x1 1/4 (32mm) Panaracer Pasela PT (wire bead)and they both also get the job done and feel? faster. I'm convinced the wide tire fashion was created by "Hot Wheels" when we were kids.
