I had both when I had 650B. Hetres roll well and easy, last long, and are surprisingly flat resistance.
Pari Motos roll well, don't last long, and were flat prone on Midwest roads and trails where I otherwise have experienced few flats. I hardly think Compass is deriding Pari Motos when it calls them event tires. Rather it is accurately stating their intended purpose. Mike Kone at the Rene Herse / Boulder site sells both Hetres and Pari Motos and likewise cautions Pari Motos are not meant for everyday use. Nothing wrong with that in my opinion.
