Thanks, Mike. Will take a look that the reviews; initial glance has it doing well per that rolling resistance site, though if it is indeed true that the newest Conti GP in the 559 size really measures over 28 mm on a normal rim, that would be my first choice.
At any rate, per this site and its testing methods, the Supreme is better than the Kojak, so I've eliminated one tire from my list (at least until other evidence surfaces).
