tires

[Joel Stern]

I currently have Grand Bois on the Bleriot. They start out with very little tread and now are pretty slick. I miscalculated the miles on my bike, the speedometer says just under 7,000 miles, I think this was a new computer when I put it on the bike so this bike may very well have this mileage. I have 2 more sets of these same tires but I also have a NOS set of Nifty Swifty's, stored in my basement and look fine, as one Panaracer Col De Vie Randonee with another that was used on the rollers as a rear tire with a fork mount, maybe a dozen times and looks new. I am looking for the smoothest most comfortable ride... both to protect my back and my hands. Any thoughts from those that have used these or is there another tire to consider?

Thanks much

Joel

That should be and one Panaracer, sorry for the typo

There is a thread on the 650b group on tires, which may pertain here. I used to have the Bleriot and it can fit 42mm tires with fenders. For this width, I think the other thread mentioned GB Hetres, Rene Herse Babyshoe Pass, and Panaracer Parimoto and Gravelking slicks. There are probably other possibilities: Panaracer Pasela in various widths, Soma Grand Randonneurs. 

There is a wealth of variety of 650b tires in the 35mm to 50mm now!

My best price performance point is with GB Hetre ELs, but Gravelkings have better flat protection (not quite as nice ride imo). I have not tried the SOMA GRs, which are priced well too.

Lots of nice tires as Franklyn says.
