My experience has been with the non-Tourguard Paselas, but I found those very prone to thorn punctures, at least as much as 200 gram racing tires, and certainly more so than Kojaks.
The non-TG Paselas (559 X 32) rode pretty well, perhaps as well as the 35 mm Kojaks, but they were certainly delicate -- I've skidded off 8" of tread and had sidewalls start crumbling on tires that should have lasted for several more years. BTW, I always laugh when people get fed up with several flats a year. Back before modern sealants, 5 a week was pretty typical, and I have gotten well over 5 in 1 day.
