[Birdy/Tubes] Brands + models that fit Schwalbe Marathon Plus?

Hello

After replacing the stock Schwalbe Impact Streetpac (47-355) with Schwalbe Marathon Plus (35-355), I noticed that one of the tubes that was fine is now losing air.

I guess I didn't insert the tube properly and somehow damaged it :-/ Maybe it was too large for those new, thinner tires.

What brands and models would you recommend that would fit the Marathon Plus?

Schwalbe recommends those:
Code:
Tubes SV5
40-355 18x1.50
47-355 18x1.75
32-369 17x11/4
37-390 18x13/8
37-400 18x13/8
Thank you.

I'd pick up the 40-355 tubes.

Thanks. Elsewhere, someone also recommended the SV4 28-355 since the Marathon Plus are thicker to make them more pucture-resistant.

Turns out the Schwalbe site does recommend the SV4 for the Marathon Plus 35-355: "Tube number: 4", followed by "Tubes >>".
