wide 27 inch tire?

I am looking for a wide, smooth, 27 inch (iso 630mm) tire. About 35mm
mounted on the rim would be great. Does a tire like that exist?

The IRC Road Winner is nearly smooth and is available in 27" x 1-1/4"
(about 32 mm wide).

Just to clarify, by "smooth" I just mean "not a knobby." Do the IRC
Road Winners actually measure 32mm when mounted? Thanks.

27 x 1 3/8" is as fat as 27" tires get:

Indeed it does — I believe this is a Kenda:

This one claims 31mm

This one doesn't say.

I am trying to figure out which is widest without buying one of each.

You'll have to find someone else that has bought them and measured the
actual dimensions, then, because when it comes to tires, manufacturer
markings are not guaranteed to reflect actual sizes.

Exactly! That is why I asked in the NG.

Heh. Some Panaracer Pasela TG 27x1-1/4 arrived yesterday. They
measure 25.5mm mounted. Not what I expected. Has anyone else used
these? Are they supposed to be this narrow?

BTW, their tread looks nothing like either of the two pictures on the
box, nor like a new pasela 700x35 I have seen. Could these be old
tires?
