Panaracer Pasela Tour Guard Tyre - 26 x 1.75, 42-559

I recommend this product

Bought this tyre as a replacement for the worn out original Panaracer that was fitted to my Thorn Sherpa when it was made maybe 12? years ago. I swap to Schwalbe Marathon Plus during hedgecutting season for the extra puncture protection and am always relieved to put the Panaracers back on, the bike feels completely different and rides so much more quickly. As always, SJS are a pleasure to deal with and got the well packaged tyre out to me quickly.

I bought a pair of these to replace the old ones, which had stood up well to many miles without a single puncture. So reliable were the last pair that I never bothered to check them except for pumping them up on occasion. I noticed the back squirming around whilst on tour, and finally noticed that there was hardly any tread left on the back and one of the walls had started to split, in fact I had to use a tyre boot to fix the tyre for the last part of the journey.

On top of the miles that they have done, these tyres have carried a heavily laden Thorn eXp and an 85kg rider.

I only replace like for like when the initial experience was very good. It was with the initial Pasela tyres, and I hope the replacements will be the same.

Obviously with tyres the real test is after many hundreds of miles of use, but first impressions are good. I'm heavy and often ride on grotty roads with all kinds of flints and shards of glass on them, not to mention potholes the size of a small family car, but they seem just the job.

Service from SJS Cycles was first rate as well.

I have used these for about 2500 miles, about 1500 crossing the tracks on Salisbury Plain. They aren't puncture proof, but only four punctures (one my fault) on tracks and roads covered in flint shards speaks volumes about their resistance to sharp objects. I run at 65psi and they give a decent ride with little rolling resistance. Definitely worth the money.

Great service from SJS Cycles, the tyres arrived quickly and safely packaged. The tyres themselves are fantastic, top quality items and look great too.
