I have an hybrid ebike on which I installed a TSDZ2. It came with cheap 28"/700x38c tires which, according to reviewers are puncture-prone and "not very rolling".

I'd to to improve the speed of my ebike (can't go higher than 40kph on flat), and its handling when cornering. I'd also like to have better cushioning when riding on bumpy roads or trails: I have a 60 mm suspension fork, but I wish I had some more suspension. I'm mostly riding on lower quality country roads and occasionally on gravel/dirt trails.

I'm hesitating between these tires:
Schwalbe Energizer Plus Tour 700x45c
Schwalbe E-plus 700x45c
Schwalbe Marathon 700x45c
Schwalbe Almotion tubetype 700x38c

The Schwalbe Super Moto X also seem great for me, but they are not available in 700c size...

Has anyone tried one of these? Which one would you recommend? Are there other tires I should check out for my use?
 
Haven't tried those 3 tires, but I have been using a 700x38c Marathon Cross for 2000 miles with one puncture. That model is now discontinued, and it's getting pretty worn in the center already. I do like the more gravel friendly tread patterns.

Yeah I was going to recommend the Schwalbe super Moto X. Those tires grip very well and give you a lot of cushion as they have a pretty thick side wall. I’ve ran the 2.8”, they come in 2.4” as well. I even use those slicks on mountain bike trails lol it keeps you honest :lol:

Oh yes they make the regular super Moto but it’s not the X, it’s probably perfect for your situation because it’s more of a hybrid
