I've finally started to treat myself to upper-tier tires, and I see why people spend the extra money. And I don't give a hoot about puncture protection. If you're ready for that, I think you have to switch to 700c. There's a Continental that looks like it might be as nice as the Pasela, possibly more durable, but I don't it's anything like the high-end René Herse (née Compass) or Continental or Vittoria tires. Ooh, look, I have foreign characters on my keyboard.
I just switched my Super Course from 27" Paselas to 700c Vittoria Voyager Hyper 37mm. Man, I'm ready for anything on these tires. I have some Compass tires I'm about to try soon.
