I had a set of Kenda 37-590 tires from 2004 that ran on a Sports until a few years ago. That's pretty much the feeling I got from them. They lasted a pretty long time for a set of cheaper tires, but the Panaracers were a definite upgrade. I've had one flat in the Panaracers, so nothing extreme. The only thing I don't like about them is the fact that you pretty much max out your fender clearance and there's no wiggle room left when you're done. I may try the Michelin World Tours next. I will say that if you are good at getting tweaking fenders and getting the most out of the clearance, that the Panaracers have a very forgiving ride on bumpy pavement.
