I'm wondering about the Panaracer tires on sale at Nashbar for $15 and $10 --
the Stradius Elite (two versions), and Category Elite. Has anyone used these? Feedback? Matt O. |

I've ridden various Stadius models and the Category Elite. The
Category Elite runs narrow (23-622 measures only about 21.5mm) and wears really fast. I currently am riding a foldable Stradius model - I don't remember if it's Pro or Elite - I think it's Pro. But it's a full 23mm wide and is wearing much better. I like them a lot. -- |

I've gotten the category elite on EBay last year and they were amazingly sturdy tires. Much more resistant to small punctures and cuts from small road debris than the soft Michelins I was using, only used them as rear tires though. |

I use Panaracer Pasela (touring) tires and have nothing but praise for
them. In particular I could mount them on the rims with my hands- very refreshing to not have a flat tube from a mounting wrench about 20% of the time. The tires themselves seem fine- they hold air and such. The sidewalls are durable and reliable. I wish they didn't have any tread on them but that's tough to find. |
