Those Kenda 1-3/8" tires should measure about 30mm wide on a 22mm rim. Typical 1-1/4" tires measure 28-29mm on a 22mm rim, but Michelin World Tour and Panaracer Pasela 27x1-1/4" tires measure true to size (about 32mm), so are relatively huge compared to their competitors.
A 1" Pasela is as wide as most 1-1/8" tires, about 26mm on a 22mm rim.
Thanks for clarifying that for me.
I have some 27" Armadillos, for better weather, but I'd be happy with either Michelins or Paselas, as replacements.
