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.

Thanks for reading,

I believe that Schwalbe used to have a 27 x 1.5" but no more. The best
you can do now is 27 x 1 3/8 (37-630), i.e.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001C6DC1A. One review says that the width
is accurate.

There are some NOS (New Old Stock) 37-630 tires on eBay.
