Pasela logo change or different tires?
Had a stray Pasela from a few years ago and just ordered a second to mount them on a bike. Pretty sure it’s the same tire but what is “protite belt” vs “protection technology?”
Tread seems a little shallower on the old one but maybe not. Protite is the recent one.

Panasonic spun off the Panaracer tire division into a separate company a few years ago. The "ProTite/PT" protection layer has been in use for a long time, so I bet those tires are basically the same.

I think I still have a set of the Pasela "TourGuard" from before the "Protection Technology" labeling...

I believe they may also offer the non ProTite version with a red label as I searched those out for a recent purchase. Perhaps the red labels were old stock.

From the 2022 catalog.

Yes, the red label tires don't have the ProTite belt, and there's definitely a difference between the two. I have two pairs of Pasleas in 38-622...one blue label and one red label. There is a ride quality difference that you can feel between the two. Everything about the tires seems the same...the only difference is the additional layer under the black tread area on the ProTite version.

The trick is to buy three tires so you two have rears to last the lifetime of the front.

Neither is particularly "supple" when compared against high-dollar supple tires, but I think they're pretty good for the price paid.
