I just ordered some Kenda tires for my old Cannondale in
size 27 x 1 3/8 inch. The goal was to obtain a somewhat
softer ride on the very rough pavement in my area.

When the tires showed up they were marked as expected,
but are only about 27 mm wide, or slightly _under_ an
inch and an eighth.

Does anybody still make road-style 27 inches tires in
wider sizes? The best I have found is 27 by one and a
quarter, and that's nominal; I haven't measured them.

With which rim width did the Kendas turn out 27mm?

If the pavement is just rough, but not glass-littered, I'd take 1 1/4 Paselas.

Some other Panaracers are "1 3/8," but 300kPa pressured seems more
