I used the 559X32 mm (1.25) Pasela and was less than overwhelmed. The Kojak rolls better and is certainly more flat resistant; of course it costs more than twice as much.
What 559X1" tires did you use? I haven't ridden the Kojaks enough to say for sure, but I *think* they roll as well as the tiny, light (198 gr) and supple NOS 559 Specialized Turbos, hitherto my benchmark for fast, 559 tires. I must factor in the much greater weight of the Kojaks -- the 559X1.35 wire beads are just under 400 grams -- which seems to add to the "inertial" feel of the wheels (particularly noticeable on a fixed gear), but again, both the 559 and 622 pairs seem to be as good rolling as any tire I've used. I also seem to feel that the Kojaks are more supple at similar pressures than the Paselas -- certainly I was surprised by the feel of the new 35s. PS: those 622X32 Pasela TGs and the Michelin Axial Pro: am not trying to make a killing; they are taking up floor space (in a pile of stuff I've been procrastinating in clearing up) and if no one takes them they go to Goodwill or to a bike co-op somewhere. See earlier mss for things I am interested to take in trade.
