I’m not kidding.
I used to have a set of 27” Specialized Touring/Expedition tires (Touring at 1 1/4” and Expedition at 1 3/8.”). I like to say they were like riding on soft, cushy, puffy clouds. Unfortunately, they were old and dried out- so they were soft, cushy, puffy clouds that could violently explode with no warning.
I do like the Sand Canyon gum/tan wall tires- I’d get a set of the higher TPI tires, but I don’t want black walls.
I used the Specialized Touring tires for years on my Paramount, and I had a set of the Expeditions on my tandem once. They were great tires for their day. But that Expedition was the only 27 x 1 3/8" tire I ever saw back then, and these days there is no directly equivalent tire, never mind one better.
