Bikes: too many bikes from 1967 10s (5x2)Frejus to a Sumitomo Ti/Chorus aluminum 10s (10x2), plus one non-susp mtn bike I use as my commuter

Some times it's easier to get tires if you use the etrto or ISO designation. You're looking for a 25-630 or 28-630.

I believe shwalbe used to make these, but you might have to buy them in the USA, or south America. Sometimes the way to deal with this kind of stuff is to have a friend buy it for you and pony it home in his luggage or as a carry on.

I keep 2 bikes in Mexico, and was so careful to make sure they had 700c tires. Little did I know that Mexico is the last bastion of 27x wheels and 700c tires are impossible to get there. That's when we resort to the Air-pony express.
