Panaracer Pasela Tour Guard Tyre - 26 x 1.50, 37-559

I recommend this product

As previously noted, very easy to mount. Look great too, especially with black rims. Note though that the Panaracer logo on the ones I received were blue and not yellow as pictured. Obviously has no bearing on functionality but might bug those who like everything to be spot-on aesthetically! Previously ran the PT folding version in 700c which lasted well. All in all these are pretty nice tyres and a bargain at this price as well :)

Good tyre and recommended. I understand however it's to be discontinued.
This review will therefore be short lived.

I bought a 1.5" version of these tyres for a cyclo camping tour (i.e. carrying quite a lot of weight) and fitted them to my long haul trucker. I just could not trust being able to get schwably marathons on/off my Ryde Grizzy rims (tears, hurt hands etc), even with all the usual techniques - and found, in contrast, that these panaracer tyres were incredibly easy to put on/remove. They are a lot lighter than the marathons and when properly inflated (65lbs) give a fantastic balance of cushioning/absorbing the bumps and stiffness. The walls are thinner than marathons - and i doubt that they are quite as puncture resistant overall. However, I had one puncture in 400 miles - and the tyre was easy to get off and repair. I can't review longevity yet - but in terms of the overall characteristics re puncture resistance, weight, rolling feel, i'm very happy indeed with these tyres, particularly for touring with panniers.
