Review on Enhanced Performance and Durability: Panaracer Pasela ProTite Wire Bead Tire by Warrick Infinite

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Low quality tires that will disappoint you!

After waiting weeks for the bike tire to arrive we were glad to be able to replace another Panaracer tire we had just bought before ordering a new tyre. We previously bought 2 tires from a local bike shop. But we were disappointed to discover that one of the tires had an air pocket around the brown trim. The risk of driving with an air bubble was too dangerous for us. And the bike shop where we bought it didn't allow us to return it after the tire was mounted on the bike. Then we decided to order a new one to replace it. We thought because there was no problem with one of the tires and the second tire must have been an accident with an air pocket. We shouldn't have any trouble ordering a replacement. When we finally got our new tire, we happily unpacked it and mounted it on the bike. Our joy quickly turned to disappointment when we saw that we had received another Panaracer tire with the exact same problem as our other tyre! Air bubble around brown trim! This leaves 2 out of 3 tires that are not suitable for driving! We decided that Panaracer's tire quality control was terrible. We're wondering if the company we bought our tire from had other customer complaints and still decided to sell it. We have quite a bit of money on these tires and wouldn't recommend anyone to buy them. Most likely they will get the same inferior tires as we did! This left us with just one good tire out of the three we bought. We then decided to buy 2 new tires to replace the 2 bad Panaracers and are now happy with our Surleys! There are no problems with them and I like the protector a lot more. Anyone who wants to buy new tires for their bike. DON'T CONSIDER that the Panaracer has a chance of leaving you with poorly made tires that will piss you off as much as they do us!

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Newer model could have been chosen
