These tires are designed for 700c rims with an ISO diameter of 622. As long as your frame has clearance for a 28mm wide tire and your rims are standard clincher road rims, they will fit securely.

Yes, they are specifically engineered for the daily grind. The extra rubber thickness is designed to resist common urban hazards like glass and debris, and the tread depth is built to last significantly longer than standard road tires.
