In you shoes I would consider replacing the Paselas with something like the GB Cypres: http://www.compasscycle.com/Tires.html I hope before too long to save up to buy a pair of the 28s -- possibly even the 32s -- for the Herse.
IME, which has been with (1) folding 559X32 mm Paselas and (2) 35 and (3) 32 mm Tourguards, Paselas aren't great for rolling resistance -- tho' I'd love to see Jan and BQ do a rolldown comparison between these and the GBs; perhaps given the 100% price differential, the Paselas would not be so bad -- and the Tourguards are doggy indeed. I know that the Herse felt better moving from the TG 35s even to IRC Tandem 30s. Frankly, to jerk myself violently back to the subject at hand, I'd not bother with new wheels until I'd tried a top o' the line tire like the GB -- which I admit I know only by reputation and hearty recommendation.
