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

the 590mm rim is the very common 26 x 1-3/8" size used on British (aka Raleigh) "3-speed" bikes for half a century (or more). When shopping on line search 37-590 tire, or if you go to a bike shop say you need a tire for a 26x1-3/8 3-speed.--- not a mtn bike.

Unfortunately, this is becomming a less popular tire so the selection at bike shops will be limited.
