I'll check them out, but I think I've got the "wears fast" covered with the Compass.
This gets said a lot, but it's rarely quantified. What does "wears fast" mean? A wide tire with 3mm tread depth should be expected to last thousands and thousands of miles before it wears through or succumbs to sidewall injury.
Pacenti Pari-Motos have an even thinner tread, more like 2mm, but I have nearly 3000 miles on mine with plenty more to go.
I think the concern about Compass-style tires wearing out quickly is either overblown, or people's standards for tire life have increased quite a bit from the skinny-tire days.
