My current tire size is 27 x 1 1/2 . What replacement size works best ?

The product lists only one (1) 27" tire (630mm) typical of older bicycles, and that is the 27 x 1-1/4, which is smaller than 1-1/2 (odd). The 27 x 1-1/4 tire offered on this site is a relatively narrow road/touring tire for older bicycles, such as my 70's-80's Sears' 10-speed. Other models of tires may be size 1-1/8 or 1" (both smaller) or 1-3/8 (wider than 1-1/4, but smaller than 1-1/2). If your bike is a 700-something, it may be better to look for the metric size (if stated). Another website describes 27x1-1/2 as a German (Kriegen) Roadster bike tire, metric size 609mm x 40mm or ISO 40-609 or Franc 650-32. Hope this helps.

Nope. You need tires marked 26 x 1-3/8. Been there, done that. On Amazon, your choice is limited (no fancy stuff like Schwalbe, so far as I know) but Kenda has you covered. Do you really need a $40 tire on an old steel rim English wheel? If I could, I'd send you a link to the tire I have in mind. If you answer this post, I'll give you the ISO size you need.

several choices - get one with schrader valve for 700 x 38c tire. The tubes normally fit several tire sizes so don't be alarmed if you see several numbers, as long as 38 is one of them. There are different valve stems too, but yours is a Schrader. Search for 700 X 38C tube Schrader. Hope this helps!

Check the width of your rim. It's usually a good idea to go with what size came off unless you know what width you can run.

I'm running 700x25, I think you could get away with a 700x30. Refer to http://www.biketiresdirect.com/tire-width-article, these rims are 14mm inside width; according to the chart in the article, you should be okay as long as your frame allows.

I had put ~1700 miles on the stock tires before they badly needed replacing. I replaced them with 700x23C Continental tires. I forgot which type but they have been the best tires I've had. As for tubes I just get 700x23C presta with 48mm stem

Sorry I don't know the answer. tube size, I have several different bikes, I use is marked on the side of the tire. I am guessing by information that you should check for marking on tire itself. The 27 x 1 1/4 fits only one of my bikes and I fill them to about 100psi.

That's the correct number. 700x38c is the tire size. I like these tires on my Schwinn Avenue hybrid. Very nice and they have worn well.

You can use 27x1; 27x1 1/8; and 27x1 1/4. If your question is really asking about 700c tires the answer is no. They won't fit a 27 inch rim.

With a 32 tire, I'd probably not pick the 25-32 tube because this means the rubber will be stretched quite thin and the tube is likely to not last very long. I'd go with one that's 700c x 28-32mm. It might also be wise to Go to your LBS and get the right fit for your tires and go from there.

I'm not sure which brand of tire you have, as there are a couple of tires which might fit an 8" rim. In most cases, you should request an 8" tire for an 8" rim.

Adina, on the site "700 x 25-28 (27 x 1-1/8-1-1/4) 32mm PRESTA" the 25mm that you are in question is the width of the tube (tire rim) ; (range 25-28 that translates to 1-7/8 - 1-1/4). this is an update to my previous response.

the 26 is the important part so you should be good. I currently run a 23 millimeter wide tire on a 23 millimeter wide rim so the width is fine too. just don't go any narrower.

No the 1 & 3/8 is a special size for older Schwinn sized wheels it will not fit on a 27x 1 & 1/4 wheel. Alsonote that on big cycle sized tires the decimal and fractional sizes are not always the same size.

The tire I received is 20 X 1.75. It was a perfect fit for the existing rim.
