Again you're wrong, I just mentioned a whole bunch of tires that are CURRENTLY being produced that you can buy brand new. So no they are not no longer being produced, nor will they quit making them because there are millions of 27" wheels on bicycles still around, in fact I can find more 27" tires today then I could 15 years ago, so more companies are beginning to make that size.
