moutain tires & wheel size query

hey all,

what do I need to look for in getting the right size wheel & tire?

I would like to get mountain tires for my bike, but it may not be possible. size
may be an issue...

my bike is an Response F-S 12 speed. its an old bike I bought from sears.

the tires it currently uses are 27" X 1-1/4 or 1-1/8 (not sure which)

comments are welcome

Dilbert I have no idea what kinds of tyres you will be able to get, but who
cares, I'd just like to commend you on your most excellent name....

Check out the Tioga Bloodhound (available in 27x1-3/8") or the
slightly less knobby Kenda Kross Cyclo (also 27" x 1-3/8").

Just make sure you have enough clearance to mount them on your bike
before buying them.
