  think i might look at getting 700x25 schwalbe marathon tyres, seem to be the best reviewed at that kinda price

  Vittoria Randonneur from Wiggle, cheap, fast and almost bullet proof, 25mm is fine, 28mm will give much more comfort but you will need new inner tubes jumping from 23's to 28's. Forget the 35's, your bike won't take them unless it has been designed as a XC racer with wider front forks or possibly a hybrid, stick with 28's.

  ****, tx for the comment and kinda wish id gone for these as they are cheaper, but i just splashed out on 700x25 marathon kevlars, read that i will be able to use the same inner tubes and such as well which is useful, cannot be arced with getting punctures while commuting to work, will probably be the best thing on my bike lol

  You wont go wrong on the Marathons - great for a winter commute. I have had them on various bikes for a number of years. I am a big fan in general of Schwalbe both MTB and Road.

  I have read so much about which tyres to get...
  However I have kept the standard tyres that came with my bike (700 x 23) and no punctures in over 500miles.Mostly road but also some manky paths etc etc.
  Don't forget, the wider the tyre the more resistance and the slower your speed. I am sticking with 23's. That said, the narrow tyres are also less safe on wet muddy paths so you need to be more careful in poor conditions.
