Bill brings up the excellent point of the meaning of “best value.” To me value means: provides high ride quality, experience, dependibility, and longevity at a cost commensorate with the work required to achieve that. Compass tires are my best value tire, though they cost more per mile than quite a few tires, simply because the ride quality and experience far outweighs their higher cost and the (in my experience) slight increase in flats (since I ride tubes, easily repairable in the field).
I generally keep coming back to two options, interestingly diametrically opposed in cost. Sugino, as Bill suggests. Or White Industries MR30. I’ll keep playing, and I may well ride this full season with the Suginos and decide after having the option of a full year of bikepacking fixed with the option of a bailout granny ring.
