The Fattest 27" Tyre?

[WilliamC]

I have an old Galaxy with nice 27 x 1 1/4 wheels which I'd like to retain rather than replacing with 700c but I don't like skinny tyres. It is fitted with Specialized Tri Sports which are only about 28mm and a pair of Continentals which are a full 32mm though both are marked 32x630 which is the largest size that I have been able to find on line so my question is what is the largest tyre available for 27" rims ie who makes the largest "32"x630?

Good old Michelin World Tour - Nice, fat, gripless in anything but 1990's rose tinted hot summer days and perfect for old Galaxys!

27 x 1 1/4 tyres should be around 32mm wide. I get on quite well with the elcheapo tan-walls on eBay. Grip is adequate and they're about £5.99. Basically the same as the Wilkinsons black 27 x 1 1/4 tyres but with a tan sidewall.

WTs would be my choice - no too gripless though!
