It turns out that all three tires I measured were roughly the same
width: Continental Ultrasport in 1 1/8" and 1 1/4" and the Kenda
1 3/8". None came close to the ISO section widths. If the height is
different, it isn't enough to notice easily; I didn't make any careful
measurements on that score.

The bike shop folks all say "buy new wheels" but as long as the old
ones can be kept reasonably true I'll just live with what I can
buy. The point of my riding is transportation and exercise, and all
the tires work well enough for that. I wanted a bit of comfort, is all......

Thanks to everyone for reading and guiding.

"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)


The pair I got say "India".

They'll serve my purpose well enough, but they're no softer riding than the
UltraSports and I probably won't buy them again.

Thanks for reading,

Didn't Sheldon have some comments about tire specifications versus
actual measured sizes?
Or maybe

Right the basic model Kenda 27x1-3/8 is a knobby tread on
what seems to be the same casing as their basic 1-1/4 street
tread tire.

We have skinnier, lighter, finer fabric, Aramid lined etc in
630mm but nothing fatter nowadays.

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 bought 1 3/8 Kenda tires. A little squeeze past the brakes pads but ok. What is weird is they do not sit straight on the rim. Wobble from side to side. Uneven roundness. Junk.
