This is why I ride 27" rims. So I can't have anything nice.
Do you mean 27,5''?
But those are a reasonably well stocked tire size... So really 27''?
If true, what kind of bikes use these?
It's an old standard, quite a bit larger than 27.5" ironically. Slightly larger than 700c even. I have an old bike that uses them, fortunately continental still makes gatorskins that fit them.
Are there even more than 2 or 3 tires available for those?
LoL, yes 27" tyres come in 2 or 3 different sizes: with ISO bead seat diameters 584mm, 609mm, 630mm.
650b 4 lyfe
27" and 27.5" are not the same thing. 27" always means 630mm with the exception of some obscure Danish bikes that I'm not aware of.
Kenda stopped making 27-inch tires, so now your options are old stock of the (formerly) $5 tires, or $100 tires from the single brand that still makes them, and most stores don't have them.
