Maxxis 700c High pressure road tire vs. panaracer, etc.
I currently have two Maxxis 700c tires, and I've had a boot in my back tire for about a year (estimate of 4,000 - 4,500 miles, note: edited from "300 miles"). I might replace the back tire with a panaracer tire. I'm looking for a RiBMo in my size. What would be the difference in terms of traction, flat-resistance, and durability? It sounds like panaracers have great flat-resistance.

negligible, if your need a new tire go for it but dont expect to gain anything from it.

Please don't take this the wrong way, but the differences in similar tires of various brands are so small that they can barely be detected even by riders who ride more than 10k miles per year. For your purposes consider them identical.
Focus more on getting the right width, pressure rating, and tread for your purposes (little or no tread for road use). Also make sure they mount easily. It doesn't matter how great a tire supposedly is if you get stranded because you got a flat and can't remove the tire.

Thanks for the advice. My first estimate of riding 300 miles in the last 12 months was WAY low. I don't know where my math went wrong.
The booted tire also has padding and hockey tape on the rim underneath it. Many flats and many calluses.

That is what my bike came with, IIRC, that is not exactly their best tire (very spongy feeling). I haven't ridden the Ribmo, but I image it will be a better overall tire with a more harsher ride.
