Also, is there anything between 451x28 and 451x37? Say, a 30 or 32mm width? 28 and 37 are about the only sizes I see online.

Thanks!
Best place I've found for 451-size tires is Bike Friday: http://store.bikefriday.com/index.php?cPath=49

I've never seen a 451 tire between 28mm and 37mm width- they're rare enough that more variations probably wouldn't be profitable. Too bad- I'd like to put a little fatter tire on the front of my Gold Rush.

My current favorite is the Schwalbe Durano: http://store.bikefriday.com/product_...ducts_id=13656 . Mine have lasted years without issues.
