I am looking for recommendations for good quality touring tires.

I just purchased some Cyclepro Discovery 27" x 1 1/8. 105 lb that want to lift off the rim with only 75lbs. I just don't feel safe with these tires. I was running more pressure then this when I first put them on but they blew out with a BANG!!! while eating dinner the other night.

Are vintage tires available anywhere anymore that were made for these old smooth bead rims? This is what I would prefer.


Tire Criteria:
Tire size must be 27 x 1 1/4 Gumwall to fit my aluminum ARAYA 27 X 1 1/4 W/O HP. (old smooth bead rim).
These rims have less then 100 miles on them and I just don't want to part with them.


Thanks for your advice,
J B
