27 x 1 3/8" tire options?
I've got an old Japanese bike that has extra wide 27" steel rims, they measure 35mm wide at the bead lip. The original tires were huge Michelin 27x1 3/8" tires but they're rotted beyond use.
I stopped in at a local shop and all they had was Kenda 27x1 3/8" and they were no wider than older 27x 1 1/4" tires.
The rims are marked 35-630, they came on an early 70's Palm Cycles bike.
Does anyone make an affordable tire that's wide enough to fit?
27x1 1/4" won't cut it, they look spread out across the rim. The original tires had a bit of bulge to the sidewalls.
