Road.cc Verdict

The Panaracer Pasela PT folding tyre is a lighter version of the long-running and justly popular TourGuard tyre, and in my view it's a very solid and sensible choice for general riding. PT stands for ProTite, which refers to the system of aramid belt for added puncture resistance. The tyre also incorporates 400D cord technology, which supposedly offers greater defence against cuts while improving rigidity when cornering.
