Guy says they have a lot of flats. I just ordered the Kojak slicks. They sound better.

There's a mention of Moulton tires there, too.
I've used the TR [Thorn Resistant] version of the 349 size scorchers on my Tikit all last riding season with zero flats. I live and ride that bike downtown with all the usual glass and crap on the roads. Not saying others haven't had issues, but so far they have been great.

I had 406 sized Kojaks on a recumbent and didn't love them. They were not as fast or as comfortable as the GS scorchers. That's just my experience so take it for what it's worth. Normally I love Schwalbe tires, but the Kojaks didn't do it for me.
