27" tires - Still in production?

DJA asked:

Is anyone still manufacturing 27" road tires?

Yes, indeed: Continental, Panaracer, Kenda, Michelin, Schwalbe, and a
few others still make 27" (630mm) tyres.

Or, is everything available New Old Stock?

That would be New *Original* Stock, Yank.

At some point I will need/want new wheels for my '80's project bike and
I'd like to stay with 27". Would I be dead-ended if I buy new 27" wheels?

I won't need anything special, just a 27x1 1/8 (28x630) generic road tire.

Any competent LBS in the business of servicing bicycles will
have something under $10, a selection of widths and styles
under $20. Plus several 'knobbies'.

Kenda, IRC, Panaracer and Michelin ( the tires we sell here)
each have many 27" models.

Yep, many manufacturers. Conti, and many Asian makers.

Maybe. Around here it's "new, old stock".

Is that where people say "turn left right here"?

Nashbar and sheldonbrown.com carry a decent selection. Nashbar in
particular has a decent inexpensive selection. IRCs, Paselas,
Continentals, Vittorias, all for about $15 or less. In sizes from
27x1", 27x1 1/8", and 27x1 1/4" And also the house brand made by Cheng
Shin, which I found very good, for less than $10. I just bought a pair
of 27x1 1/4" Nashbar kevlar belted tires. Not bad at all.


You can get Cheng Shin tires at Walmart for $7
27 - 1-1/4

And almost worth it. (Cheng Shin, like most tire makers, provides a
variety of designs and levels of quality. Wal-Mart, sadly, does
not...and they apparently picked an inexpensive, inefficient tire to
stock in their stores.)


I've bought the same tire at my LBS.
It's the same as Wally World.
Cheap, but a decent tire.

Does anyone know who makes or where I can get 27" knobbys for my 'o
Schwinn. Probably 1.25". Don't really know, kind of a newbie here.
find they provide more durable usage for a casual around town road bik
and occasional dirt path or two
Thank

Mik
