I have less than 50 miles on mine so not much to report. They seem to ride fine. Not night and day from the Panaracer Hi-Road tires I had before. May be hairsplitting but I can tell you that the 1.75" measures 1.6" on a Velocity Aeroheat rim.

Dear Clayton or others with experience with the Compass 26x1.75 tire, I am about to purchase the Compass 26x1.75, but thought I would ask for any feedback on the tires from real world use. Many thanks, On Saturday, June 22, 2013 12:41:16 PM UTC-4, Clayton wrote: Thanks everyone for your feedback. Greatly appreciated. I went ahead and ordered a pair of Compasses....I had a set of Avocet's 26" 1.75" tires back in the day and loved them. I expect these should be even nicer. Again, Thanks. > >On Wednesday, June 19, 2013 3:26:05 PM UTC-7, clayton wrote: >I just did a picture comparison between the two. They have exactly the same >tread. Both are made in Japan.
