Thanks, Jason I had the Pasela in mind and may buy a pair. The Extraterrestrials look a bit beefy and have too much tread for my taste. Sorry, haven't liked Marathons.
I've used PowerBlocks in the 451 size, but found them rather doggish despite others' opinions; at least, the Pasela ought to roll as well. Others' opinions? I may eventually buy some Nachez Passes, but I'd like to try a cheaper alternative first. Again, for *occasional* light dirt use, sandy soil. I can fit up to true 45s, I think. There was a similar thread on the boblist recently but that was about 559 X 2"+ tires. How wide are your 1.75 Paselas (and how wide are the rims?). Thanks.
