I don't consider Panaracer tubulars as quality tires. They are cheap. Consider buying from long standing manufacture that has been making tubulars for decades.
Actually, other sized tubulars are produced. Less common but available.

Secondly, some may be confused with such examples seeing 28" or 22-28" labeled sidewall. Vittoria as example.

You may know it as 22mm width by 700 but its goofy to someone not familiar with tires, especially the less common today tubular. I've been in a few bike shops where they've shuttered at the thought of tubulars. No stock, no service / replace, confused.

In reply to Panaracer, they've LONG been making tires (nearly seven decades) including tubular type. The 'natural' rubber formulas from Thailand have been what many seek vs synthetics. For budget, the Practice 270 is decent.
