I've got a Dawes Karakum which comes with tyres marked as 28 x 1.40 - 700x35c

I'm getting fed up with punctures so want to get a pair of Schwalbe Marathon plus tyres...bamboozled by the size options offered.

Any advice please?

700 x 35 sounds about right. It's probably the same/metric as 28" x 1.4".

Also "be ware" that M+ weight about a kilo each, feel like wood, are nothing special for grip and aren't fast

And also be aware...that they puncture periodically - 8000 miles and a big nail through the sidewall in my case

I felt like asking Schwalbe about getting my money back
