What are the absolute best tires for a Schwinn Superior? The wheels are in very good condition. Did they have whitewalls back in 1976? I would like to have a quality set of tires that also looks good. The 27X1-1/4 tires that are on my '76 Superior are $7.00 tires. The tires have a 70 psi max pressure and at 210 lbs I think I'm a bit too heavy for these tires.
