Does anybody make 37-630 tires?
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, bob prohaska |

If the pavement is just rough, but not glass-littered, I'd take 1 1/4 Paselas. http://www.sheldonbrown.com/harris/tires/630.html Some other Panaracers are "1 1/8," but 3kPa pressured seems more curbless-city style than road-style. https://www60.atwiki.jp/longmemo2/pages/62.html |

Thanks for reading, bob prohaska I don't know about 1+3/8 27" tire but check to be sure there's enough room for them to fit. I converted an old Cannondale with Shimano 600 stuff to 700C so I could use tires wider than 1+1/4" about 35mm. IIRC the 700C tires I TRIED to use were 38mm with knobs ie they were street tires; but they would rub the chainstays. Godd luck and cheers |

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. |

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? 21.5 mm inside, about 23.5 outside. The rims to be used in service are about 22.5 outside, but on those rims a Continental 1 1/8" tire is wider than the Kenda 1 3/8" tire, so the Kenda is notably underwidth. If the pavement is just rough, but not glass-littered, I'd take 1 1/4 Paselas. http://www.sheldonbrown.com/harris/tires/630.html Some other Panaracers are "1 1/8," but 3kPa pressured seems more curbless-city style than road-style. Those would work, but don't seem obviously better than the 1 1/4" tires I can get locally. https://www60.atwiki.jp/longmemo2/pages/62.html [The page cited comes up in Japanese, I can't make heads or tails of it] The local shop that ordered the Kenda tires has agreed to exchange them for Continental "Ride Tour" tires in 1 1/4" width. While nominally narrower, I think they're apt to be much like the 1 1/4" UlraSports I've been using, which is tolerable. It would be helpful to know which manufacturer's width descriptions are to be believed. Clearly not Kenda's. Thanks for posting! bob prohaska |

It was necessary to shave off one outermost row of knobs on cyclocross tires to fit, but that was enough. bob prohaska |

Knobbies aren't really helpful in my application, everything is paved, it's just that the pavement is wretched. There are some NOS (New Old Stock) 37-630 tires on eBay. I'm slowly coming to accept that 1 1/4" width is the best to be had. My hope that somebody knew of a 1 3/8" slick are fading fast..... Thanks to all for your counsel! bob prohaska |

"Ride Tour" 32-630, Conti #0101161, is a 0.57 kilo, 80 PSI, anti-puncture rubber layered, city/trekking tire, made in China. I hope a fine, generator-less front hub can make up for the added rolling resistance. (SCNR) |
