the less contact, width wise, your rear wheel has with the ground the more force there will be on the point of contact. This is why you inflate 20/23X700C tires to higher pressures than 700X28C tires. A 700X20C will wear a whole lot faster than a 700X38C. I doubt you'll find a 23 that lasts as long as a 28.

You might not like the Pana-T-serv's tread patterns. I think those were identical to Pasera. And, that tread pattern flips up sharp-fragments so they go "vertical" on the tire for some people. ...
