I used to ride the Kojak and too experienced wear that fast (20" wheels), I went back to the Conti Sport Contact which were a full 100g heavier, but a lots less wear and tear.
I suppose the combination of a lightweight road tyres + small wheel isn't exactly a marriage made in heaven.
I reckon the Sport Contact would've been popular with the Brompton crowd had they released it in 16" as well.
