I just put the Stampede Pass tires on my Romulus, replacing a set of Ruffy Tuffy's. My expectations were not particularly high but after two rides I am very impressed. I haven't ridden the Jack Brown blues on my Rom but had them on my Sam and then my Atlantis. I thought it was a good commuter tire and would still use it for that purpose (the Atlantis is wearing Marathon Supremes now). I had only one flat in 4500 miles and it was a nail. Similarly, the Ruffy Tuffy's were indeed very tough. The Compass tire, however is simply in another class. Not only was the ride much more plush than the ride on the Ruffy Tuffy, or the JB, the bike felt very lively, and on my two rides it was considerably faster than I typically ride over the same route--nearly 5 minutes faster over a 25 mile course. Two rides are hardly a sufficient data set to proclaim it a faster tire but I'm confident that it is not slower. I'm looking forward to using it for my recreational riding. Highly recommended.
