Default tire availability

Saw some tires in a large chain pharmacy store.
The popular ISO 622 size was not present; maybe sold out.
There were 406, 559, 590, and I think 390(?).
Also, ta-dah! 630 x 32.

More likely ISO 305 mm than 390 mm, as the ISO 305 is used on small
children's bikes (and more importantly recumbent lowracers and DaHon
folders).

ISO 406 mm - BMX (and many recumbents and folders).

ISO 559 mm - MTB (and recumbents).

ISO 590 mm - Traditional 3-speed/roadster.

ISO 630 mm - Traditional US low end road bikes.

ISO 622 mm - Fancy "European" bikes, therefore not found in mass market
outlet.

Anywhere you go you can buy a tire for your bicycle.

Unless, of course, you have let Grant Peterson talk you into a 650B
bike......then you are SOL.
