"Much superior comfort from the Cayuse Pass tires over the Rubino Pros, noticeably so and I think, faster (but that's kind of difficult for me to judge). 4,544 miles on both front and rear tires, one flat in the front tire in that entire time."

You would be surprised with Jan's tyres. My experience with comapss grand bois hetre has been great; its possibly the lightest 42c tyre on the market; zero p*****es over 1400 miles and loads of life left.
Then there are Strada LGG, S-works turbo, Parigi roubaix, Strada bianca etc
