We use Schwalbe Marathon Slicks on our Crusoes. I think they're 1.35", and they have held up very, very well indeed. I think we've only had 2 flats between us since buying our Fridays in 2004.
Good luck!

The primo comets kevlars are also bomb proof, not sure we ever got a flat with them, yet they roll real nice and inflate to relatively high pressures.

I've got Schwalbe Stelvios on my Dahon, too -- although they're pretty low mileage since I just got them in May. Out of curiosity, where are your Stelvios shredding? The part where the tire touches the road, or where the different compounds meet (my tires are two colors, and I think it's because the material is slightly different in those parts of the tires)? Are they just particularly vulnerable to road debris, or is there something about the construction that isn't holding up? Just want to know what I can expect in terms of wear and tear.
I hear good things about the Schwalbe Marathon line -- a slightly wider tire than the Stelvio, but maybe a good idea when PNW's rainy season comes around.
