They're expensive, but they're not all super light., posted on November 20, 2023 at 13:02:13

No, but I'm gonna need tires pretty soon., posted on November 20, 2023 at 15:06:38

I too love new ideas, posted on November 20, 2023 at 15:44:21

First of all the Rene Herse are made by Panaracer., posted on November 20, 2023 at 17:24:06

I've read many complaints online about Panaracers being susceptible to punctures also but I've got about 6K miles on various Panaracer tires and have only had one flat.
Some reviewers of the Rene Herse complain about punctures, other don't.
The 700 x 32 Rene Herse are only $20 more for the pair than the Gravelkings I'm using now.
I'm not real thrilled with the grip of the Gravelkings on loose or slightly muddy surfaces. At the very least, I'll probably switch to the Panaracer Pasela, but if I can get a more comfortable ride from Rene Herse, I'm gonna at least consider them.

I dunno... are you really uncomfortable on your bike?, posted on November 20, 2023 at 18:27:43
Victor Khomenko Manufacturer Posts: 54878 Joined: April 5, 2000	As I was riding the other day I remember thinking how comfortable mine was. What is your frame material? I have carbon and I love it.

No, all three of my bikes are comfortable., posted on November 21, 2023 at 03:04:29

I'll probably end up with Paselas. They have good grip in slimy conditions. But maybe I'll be y'alls' canary in the coal mine and try the Rene Herse.
