Schwalbe Marathon Plus

I have a Triban 3 with 23mm tyres on it. They're done, I had a flat a few days in a row. I got a pair of 28mm Marathon Plus. The 28mm width fits fine but the tyre is deeper so it's rubbing against the bottom of the fork. I didn't try the rear but clearance looks about the same so I assume it'll have the same problem.

Does anyone know if the 25mm version is as deep as the 28mm one or is it a little thinner all over?

Its a little thinner all over and should fit.

It fits if I only inflate to 55-60psi, above that it rubs and sticks.

I'll order the 25mm and see how they go.

25mm ones came this week and fit great. A few rides this week and no punctures so far. They also went on easy enough. I didn't even need a tyre lever. Just watched the Spa Cycles (I think) video on YouTube for installing them.
