I can't tell the difference between Pari-Moto and compass while riding. In the same width they feel about the same to me. I like the Pari-moto because they are cheap to buy and I'm not a high mileage rider so 1500mi lasts long enough that something else interesting comes out. Like I want the

I'll add my voice to the chorus: I was hesitant about BSPs, since I ride on crappy Brooklyn streets, but I purchased them anyway. I've ridden nearly everyday for coming up on a year and I've had one flat from a large piece of glass in the rain. I love the way they look, feel, sound, taste,

Hi Garth, Your periodic reminders to just keep riding is indeed useful! I'm born with an itch to constantly experiment with things. Sometimes this habit can go out of control, so hearing some words of wisdom definitely helps :) Thanks. On Friday, 16 June 2017 09:32:57 UTC-7, Garth wrote:

Ash, unless you want to make changing tires a habit and like it, and unless you have some compelling reason beyond "comparitis", just keep riding what you have. To me good riding is forgetting altogether about the bike, about yourself even, about all those things that seemed so important but

Thanks, I think, Orc! (Beware orcses bearing giftses? Ye-. Grin.) Your point is well taken, that I do not have experience with a breadth of tires and so may well have exceeded accuracy with my enthusiasm. Thank you for pointing that out. With abandon, Patrick On Thursday, June 15,

Ash, while I haven't compared the tires you're asking about, my own journey had me balking at trying Compass at first too and I tried to find a less expensive supple tire. Mirage. Doesn't exist, because Compass is in a class all by itself in what they provide. There simply isn't a parallel

Thanks for sharing your experience folks! @Jay: ride quality is definitely important to me. I seek a comfortable ride when I'm on Appaloosa. Part of the reason why I don't feel like riding the road bike all the time. So definitely want to consider a compass. Does anybody have experience

I have a set of Almotion 700 x 50s. They are good tires and I intended to tour with them, but if you're sensitive to ride quality, then there's no comparison. The Compass tires soak up road imperfections in a way that the Almotions cannot. Some people care about this, but others simply don't

I find my Compass tires very quiet. However, I can't compare to Almotions or Pari Moto as I've never ridden those. I suspect if you try Compass tires you will experience a recalibration of what supple is. I did. Grin. With abandon, Patrick On Thursday, June 15, 2017 at 12:34:58 PM UTC-6, Ash A
