I run Maxy Fasties on my Protobleriot in the summer and ran Nifty Swifties for several years on my Saluki. This past winterless winter, I put Soma Xpresses on the Proto. I've also used Col de Vies on the Saluki. My bikes do service primarily as commuters between St. Paul and Minneaplis with a 20-mile round-trip. About half the commute is on a side street that is in rough shape pot-hole and crack-wise, and then there's ice and crusty snow. Only the Col de Vie has given me a flat, but a slow one. Were I in your situation, and I was looking at Maxy Fasties, I'd give a good long look at the Nifty Swifties as the tougher version but still slim (33). I am also liking the Soma Xpresses which I got for winter because they have more tread, were recommended on this list-serve, and were the biggest tire (~38) that the proto could take with fenders.
