Oh, and I finally gave up the hope of finding an awesome tire deal, ended my handwringing and ordered the yearly tires - Michelin Power Road TLRs this time around.

What's on your wheels now?
I was looking at getting either the G-One or the Terraspeed or even something from Rene Herse.
I don’t really need aggressive tread except for a couple of rides I have planned.

Teravail makes an ineresting-looking mixed terrain tire. Similar idea to the Pathfinder.

Same wheelset.

Edit: oh, I forgot to mention - while looking at tires, I saw that Schwalbe is now offering the G-One Speed in larger sizes - 35 and 38, iirc. They used to only come in a 30mm, and it was one of the best tires I've had. I would think that they'd be awesome for occasional gravel and speedy on pavement.

Good news. The off road tires held air overnight. And we got several inches of rain. I think today is gluing day. I'm short one rear wheel, and this would be that one.
