Tyre Help!

Guys,
Anyone help with replacement tyres for a friends bike, I'm not even sure what make it is as I've not seen it yet.
A friend wants it servicing & tells me it needs 2 new tyres of the hybrid type.
The sizing is 28 x 1 5/8 x 1 3/8 - had a quick look on Amazon but can't find any, is there an equivalent size?
Cheers
G.
 
Re:

That sounds right, my understanding of it was the numbers were in mm or inches roughly speaking i.e 650 is 26" and 700 is 28". Guessing the slight difference is to do with the bead depth?

Ah, I probably should have just followed the link first as that is pretty much what it says!

Find the erto number to be sure, there are different diameters even per size and the only way to tell them apart is the erto number. I'v been having a nightmare trying to find tyres for a 24" wheel road bike and there are at least 5 different diameter of 24" tyre.
