If you think that the Kojaks are doggy, ride Tioga City Slickers or the old Avocet city tires of similar appearance: *then* you will feel sluggishness, *and* a narrow range between harsh and squishy!
The main point: if the BJPs are like the Elk Passes, yes, they are worth it. With modern sealants I can ride paper thin EPs on goathead infested dirt roads, and believe me, they feel faster than the already highly praised (for speed) Michelin Pro Races *Services Course,* which are themselves supple tires. (Mine were 650C X 23.) I don't know what the BJPs cost, but the $78/tire cost of the EPs is very certainly worth it to me, for my Rivendells. Wonderful frames should have commensurate tires.
