The Compasses give a very nice ride. I don't use them much. I run INTENSE micro Knobby tires now. Kevlar beads, high TPI,supple and fatter. I found them very cheap online (With high pressure they run great on the street). I usually run about 40 psi. I desire comfort and that "supple feel" that is so hard to find. Fatter is more comfy for me. Plus they are more off road capable, important to my manly monster truck ego ;), even though now days, they seldom see much off road use.
