While the previously mounted Schwalbe Marathons are tops in terms of durability and reliability (i.e. they're bomb-proof), the Compass tires easily outclass them in terms of pure ride quality. Between weighing roughly two lbs less per set and being constructed of much more supple casing, I am finding all the praise Compass tires get regarding speed and comfort to be justified. FYI for those interested, my calipers measure the week-old set at about 40.5 mm.
My only other tire comparison in 650b would be the Soma B-line, which is essentially a 38mm Pasela. The Marathons and B-lines would serve as great tires for many practical applications, but this new set of Babyshoe Pass tires has me simultaneously riding faster AND enjoying the ride much more. Will report back on these tires after a few months of zipping around on mixed terrain...
