I have the 700 X 35mm Pasela Tourguards on my PX-10 and in 4 or 5 years of commuting and 1 '1/2 - 2 hr rides (not in winter and not in rain, if I can help it since there is NO room for fenders and very tight clearance , esp the rear tire ) I think I've only had 2 or 3 flats that I can remember. Dumb luck, I know, but my experience with Pasela tourguards (used 26 X 1.5 on my allrounder and X0-1) has been really quite good in terms of durability and flat history.
Using Compass 26 X 1.5 McClure's on X0-1 and allrounder ; for the X0-1 , I like them a lot but they are probably more susceptible to flats. Suppler tires, that's for sure. And I have 700 X 32 Stampede Pass extralights on my Riv road and I have to say, they're nicer riding and certainly lighter than the 700 X 32 Pasela Tourguards they replaced. Naturally, I don't commute on the Rivs, but a lot of you are of the opinion that Schwalbes are very tough and well-made and more reliable for regular every day commuting. My personal feeling when it comes to tires is that you likely get what you pay for, to some extent...it may not be the best place to economize, since they do very much influence how the bike rides.
