One more anecdote that supports this. I've found that, while tires with lighter casings require more pressure for the same -- what is the word, for the same amount of cushion and rim protection, they also seem to perform better at a wider range of pressures, at least in this, that they don't require such precise pressure for that mean between sagging in curves, or bouncing on straights, and harshness. I noticed this when I briefly tried an old pair of Avocet slicks on the '03. Sluggish when comfortable, harsh when you got pressure high enough for faster rolling. By comparison with these, the Kojaks are, or feel, both faster and smoother. The Parigi Roubaix even more so than the Kojaks (tho' alas, those are for 700C wheels, of course).
FWIW, since many have suggested 559X32 Paselas, compared to the Kojaks, the Paselas, too, had only a small range between sagging and harshness (and they flatted very easily). These were the non-Tourguards that are not made any more, apparently. I rode the 559X32 Paselas for a number of years and quite a few thousand miles.
