Both widths are currently showing as in stock online form Performance Bicycles, with the 27" x 1 1/4" on sale for $15. Anybody riding these?
They updated the decal, probably. No, wait! I see it has a slicker tread than the old one. Who would have expected a new 27" tire in the 2020's?

The last 27" tire I bought was the Zaffiro IV wire bead, and the casing was pretty stout compared to a base Pasela. But it got me riding just fine.

The 1-1/4 Paselas only barely fit on my Paramount.
