Sounds like an excellent choice of tire.

The inch-sized Paselas are about the truest to size (i.e. widest) tires to be found among 27" offerings, even my 27x1" Paselas measure a plump 26mm on touring rims, where other tires in this stated size measure as small as 21mm on slightly-narrower rims.

I've bought (China-direct) foreign-market, all-black, 27x1-3/8" CST "hybrid"-style treaded tires (inverted "hybrid" tread kind of like the Pasela?) that measure all of 36mm wide on 27" touring rims, but they are budget tires nowhere near as lively or supple as the Paselas.

As shown below, with Chinese-text label, mounted on i16mm 27" rim:
