I ride Panaracer Pasela Protites 27” x 1 1/4” on easy rails to trails gravel over fairly long distances and in my experience they are pretty good. Long lasting and comfortable but with a small weight penalty. I used to ride the regular Paselas and got a lot of flats. I don’t know if the tire compound is just too soft or what but they seemed to pick up too much sharp debris. I’ve never had a problem with the sidewalls though. The Protites are a little heavier but the ride quality is still quite good.
