Does anybody make 37-630 tires?

On one of the various bicycle discussion groups I read a comment about the Kenda 27" x 1-3/8" being about the same width as the 1-1/4" but were "taller". http://tinyurl.com/ybaol7mg -- Cheers, John B. 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. bob prohaska |

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, bob prohaska |

Thanks to everyone for reading and guiding. bob prohaska 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. -- Andrew Muzi www.yellowjersey.org/ Open every day since 1 April, 1971 |

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 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. Brian |
