I've mounted Vredestein F-Lite tires on my Quest. Because these tires are wider than Schwalbe Kojaks, they touch the skirt sooner when turning, and so the Quest's turning radius is increased. I've measured it at about 14 m / 46'.

It's not a problem at all on the open road, or even in narrow streets, but the velo is a bit of a barge when taking tight corners, getting in or out of euro-sized garages or parking lots.
