I too am wondering about the Kojak, but for a different reason: I'm looking for a comfier tire than the default Marathon in 349. I'd been eyeing the Scorchers, which are 40-349 vs. Kojak's 32-349 (and Marathon's 37-349), and have a reputation for comfyness (comfitude? comf?) while still being pretty fast -- heavy (280g) but with an unusually low rolling resistance (meaning they're probably thin and will wear out quickly).

So anyway: cushiness plus speed would be a nice combo. How do you think the Kojaks compare to the Scorchers in this regard?

BTW, I am also concerned about possible cornering ability on the Scorchers (I have no data one way or the other there, except that they were designed specifically as trike tires, and trikes don't lean). Any data there? Nothing to worry about?
