I've just bought a Carerra Gryphon and it has 700x23c tyres, but i've recently bought Schwalbe marathon plus tyres (700x28c), is it possible to use these on the Carerra?

That depends on the width of the rims...

Gryphon is described as a HYBRID....so I'd have thought it "should" accept 28c or even wider tyres.
But looking at the pics - I'm not sure there will be clearance.

You can only try it and see, if the wheels don't turn, put the old 23c back on. Sell the M+ in classifieds, or on fleabay.

Try it. The worst that can happen is your wheels won't go round! I'd be amazed if they don't fit - 28 isn't really wide.
