Please let us know how the Billy Bonkers work out. The Naches Pass size is interested. I haven't tried them, but I have the original "Compass" model, which were in fact based on the 1.75 Pasellas. Same mold and tread, but more supple casing. They were/are nice (that's what I used before the RTPs and then, again, before the Gravel Kings), but I keep wanting to max out my frame clearance a bit more. They look so small in there. It's odd that Jan would pay for a whole new mold that only gained .05" in size over its predecessor. My only real frustration is that the sidewalls are rotting out before the tread wears out. But that's often the case for me because of high UV exposure where I live and due to having too many bikes in rotation. Based on this though, I'd have to say Pasellas are a good choice. Or black sidewalls.
