1.375 tires...
I recently came across some NOS 26x1.375 tires made by Uniroyal, and 24x1.375 tires made by Carlisle. I'm interested in their value and what kind of bikes they will fit. There is some info here, https://sheldonbrown.com/tire-sizing.html but I'm looking for something more specific.

I got quite the explanation that 26" x 1.375 is completely different than 26" x 1-3/8 from someone in an LBS around here. It makes no logical sense whatsoever, but then consider what they were used on - 3rd rate lightweights.
