The Primo Comet are indeed very supple tires and even if they aren't really wide, they provide some comfort.
For the Greenspeed Scorcher, they are currently 40mm wide and as far as I know too wide for the Brompton (I saw there was s narrower test version made for the Brompton but not in production yet I think).
Now, a full suspension Birdy even with narrow high pressure tires like the 32x355 Kojak at 8bar provides a level of safety and comfort on cobbles totally unknown with a Brompton, whatever the tires used.
