Agreed. I'm running the Schwalbe Kojak in 35c on my Salsa Vaya and it's been stellar. It's taken all kinds of abuse including a few miles of crushed sea shells (the Seagulls pick them up during low tide and drop them on the bike path to break them open to get what's inside) and some hard pack/easy off road stuff. I've also jumped off quite a few curbs and abused them on the pothole infested streets in the city. Thus far I have zero complaints. They also roll really fast too!
