The Pasela Tourguard tire is a go-to touring tire for many of our customers. At a very affordable price, it packs a lot of features in. With a well respected tread design, it helps keep you traveling down the road over just about any normal touring terrain.
The TourGuard protection uses an Aramid fiberbelt under the tread to improve puncture resistance. The protective casing also extends through the sidewalls to aid in preventing cuts and tears.
- Weights Start @ 300g for a 23mm
- TourGuard Aramid puncture resistance belt
- 400D Lite Extra Cord casing

bikes_ruleAfter riding the tire for a few weeks now, it has become one of my favourite tires. The ride is supple and compliant, with good grip in the corners. Overall, a nicely priced puncture resistant tire with attractive tan walls. The only issue that I see as a concern is that the sidewalls seem thinner than most tires I have ridden recently. I'm guessing the thin sidewalls are what makes the bike ride as nice as it does.

A GuestI have these tires on 4 of my 6 bikes. I have used tires from 5 or 6 different companies. I have had a total of two flats, both of which were on the 23c ones on a steel framed racing bike. These are the most cost effective gumwall tires out there, minimal maintainace, grippy with minimal rolling resistance.
The 32c tires work great on the touring bikes, a light touring/cross bike and a loaded touring bike. Not a single flat with the 32C size, very comfortable and low rolling resistance.

A GuestI have had them on 2 of 6 bicycles. Sidewalls are subject to puncture easily but glass & metal shards will cut any tire. Tires provide good tractions, good looks and a nice supple ride. Distribution in US is spotty for the 700C size.

mbenjaminwardI really like these tires. I ride around Brooklyn and they handle the bumps and dips nicely. No flats yet, but the other reviews give me piece of mind knowing that they resist punctures. I like the look, but I would like the option of black sidewalls.

alem1583We bought these for my wife's bike to have something more suited for commuting in the wet. So far so good, the tires have great grip and were easy to put on. The skinwall tires have a nice look. My only complaint is that the cross section of the tire is very tall. This is only a problem b/c they went onto a Fuji Roubaix with very tight clearance to the wishbone seatstays. It fit, but I had to actually true the commuting wheels...

yarbianI've been riding on these tires for my daily commute for a couple years. I had to replace one earlier this year (my own fault, since I used to like skidding to stops a lot). I'm finally replacing the front one this week. The only flat I ever got was from running over a large roofing nail. The sound it made leads me to believe it had a VERY hard time getting through the tire. I've been very happy with the ride and the grip performance these past 2 years, so I keep replacing the worn out ones with new ones.
As another reviewer mentioned, the side walls do seem thin. I'm replacing the front one now because it's got a bit of a bulge from compromised side wall integrity. This could have been related to the massive nail that punctured it or possibly some drunken misuse of the bike, not 100% sure. (In either case, I wouldn't blame the tire.)
